Is this a serious question? SK is a strong ally of the USA and along with Japan bolsters their presence in this part of Asia. China, a geopolitical enemy of the USA, is also lightly allied with NK.
Or rather was a strong ally? I bet you are not imposing 25% tariff to your strong ally.
> the interests of Western companies
