The American Chamber of Commerce in Korea has launched its “Buy America” campaign to encourage Korean companies to purchase more US products.
By leveraging its extensive business network, AmCham aims to expand the procurement of US energy, automobiles, agricultural products and other key goods, further strengthening trade and economic cooperation between the two nations.
The campaign follows AmCham Chairman and CEO James Kim’s commitment at the “Korea-US Business Night” in Washington, DC, on Feb. 19, hosted by Chey Tae-won, chair of SK Group and the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry. At the event, Kim emphasized AmCham's dedication to fostering a more balanced and mutually beneficial trade relationship between the US and Korea.
As Korean investments in the US continue to grow, AmCham is taking proactive steps to broaden trade cooperation by encouraging Korean firms to increase their procurement of US goods.
“Addressing trade imbalances and strengthening economic ties between the US and Korea are critical objectives,” stated Kim. “Through ‘Buy America,’ AmCham will collaborate with major Korean and American companies to expand imports of US products, creating mutually beneficial opportunities.”
With trade and investment discussions between Washington and Seoul gaining momentum, the institute is working closely with key Korean conglomerates and US policymakers to explore strategic initiatives that reinforce bilateral economic cooperation. In the coming weeks, it will announce new corporate partnerships to further drive the campaign’s objectives.
