Trump 2.0: Korea’s Economic Survival

Header 1: Predicted Foreign and Economic Policies of Trump's Second Term

Trump has stated his intention to quickly end the Russia-Ukraine war.
He has hinted at withdrawing from NATO and stopping aid to Ukraine.
This could likely trigger a change in leadership within NATO.
Negotiations with Russia may involve potential concessions of Ukrainian territory, aiming to end the war at the negotiating table.

Sub-item 2: Arctic Shipping Route and Shipbuilding

Based on the cooperation between Russia and North Korea, Trump intends to participate in the Arctic shipping route project.
He will continuously request shipbuilding cooperation from South Korea, which implies potential pressure for technology transfers in the medium to long term.

Sub-item 3: Global Trade Policy and Tariffs

He is expected to continue the strong "America First" policy.
Pressure will be placed on Canadian and Mexican companies to relocate manufacturing facilities to the United States.
There is a high likelihood of pressure on South Korean automotive and steel industries to expand into the U.S. market.

Header 2: Reorganizing the Value Chain of Promising Future Industries

Sub-item 1: The Core of Trump's Policies

The intention is to position future growth industries such as semiconductors, space, autonomous driving, robotics, AI, electric vehicles, and battery industries within the U.S.
Focusing the value chain in the U.S. will strengthen the domestic industrial ecosystem.

Sub-item 2: Strong Economic Incentives

Using corporate tax cuts and tariffs.
Attracting companies through deregulation, increased subsidies, and interest rate cuts.
This will enhance domestic manufacturing competitiveness and be utilized as a diplomatic negotiation tool.

Header 3: Impact of a Strong Dollar and South Korea's Economic Outlook

Sub-item 1: Potential for Exchange Rate Fluctuations

The strong dollar trend is likely to continue, potentially reaching a high of 1500 KRW.
This will lead to a decline in the value of the South Korean won and an increase in import costs.

Sub-item 2: Impact of a Strong Dollar on the South Korean Economy

While exports may be favorable for large corporations, this is likely to be a short-term positive effect.
If prolonged, it will cause adverse effects such as price increases and exchange rate instability.
Problems such as inflexible monetary policies, inability to cut interest rates, and deepened concerns about an economic recession.

Header 4: Conclusion

Strengthening "America First" and Trump's second term policies aim to build a strong economic ecosystem, but this is likely to lead to a reshuffling of the global economic order and changes in the industrial structure of allied countries. South Korea needs to proactively prepare for this.

Trump’s Second Term: Predicted Strategies and Impacts

Trump aims to swiftly end the Russia-Ukraine war through unprecedented moves like exiting NATO.
Focus on Arctic route development and potential collaborations in advanced shipbuilding.
"America First" remains the core policy, using tariffs and incentives to attract manufacturing lines of global companies into the U.S.

Economic Reengineering for Key Industries

Strategic focus on semiconductors, AI, robotics, and EV batteries.
Offers tax cuts, subsidies, and interest rate adjustments to solidify a robust value chain within the U.S. territory.

USD Strength and Global Trade Consequences

Persistent strong-dollar trends may escalate global trade tensions.
South Korea and other trade-centric economies could face mounting pressure due to rising import costs and fluctuating currency values.

Implications for South Korea

While a strong dollar may temporarily boost exports for South Korean conglomerates, long-term impacts include inflation and trade imbalances. Strategic preparation is imperative.

“트럼프발 대공황 vs 나홀로 골디락스, 트럼프 2.0 정책과 한국 경제의 생존전략 | 클로즈업 – 심층대담 3편“

## 헤더 1: 트럼프 2기 외교 및 경제 정책 예상
### 세부 항목 1: 러-우 전쟁 관련 외교 정책
– 트럼프는 러-우 전쟁을 빠르게 종식시키겠다는 입장을 밝힘.
– NATO 탈퇴 및 우크라이나 전비 지원 중단 시사.
– 이는 NATO 내 리더십 변화를 촉발할 가능성이 높음.
– 러시아와의 협상에서 우크라이나 영토 일부 양보 가능성을 포함해 전쟁을 테이블에서 끝낼 방안 예상.

세부 항목 2: 북극항로와 조선업

러시아와 북한의 협력관계를 기반으로 북극항로 사업에 참여 의지.
한국에게 지속적으로 조선업 협조 요청. 이는 중장기적으로 기술 이전 압박 가능성 내포.

세부 항목 3: 글로벌 무역 정책과 관세

강력한 "미국 우선주의" 정책 지속 예상.
캐나다 및 멕시코 기업에 대한 압박. 미국 내로 제조 시설 이전을 유도.
한국 자동차 및 철강 산업도 미국에 진출하도록 강제하는 압박 가능성 큼.

헤더 2: 미래 유망 산업의 밸류체인 재배치

세부 항목 1: 트럼프 정책의 핵심

반도체, 우주산업, 자율주행, 로봇, AI, 전기차 및 배터리 산업 등 미래 성장 산업을 미국 내에 배치하려는 의도.
밸류체인을 미국에 집중시켜 자국 내 산업 생태계를 강화.

세부 항목 2: 강력한 경제 유인책

법인세 인하 및 관세 활용.
규제 완화, 보조금 확대, 금리 인하를 통해 기업 유치.
이는 미국 내 자국 제조업 경쟁력 강화 및 외교적 협상 무기로 활용.

헤더 3: 강달러 영향과 한국 경제 전망

세부항목 1: 환율 변동 가능성

강달러 현상이 지속될 가능성이 높음. 최고 1500원 도달 가능성 있음.
이는 한국 원화 가치 하락 및 수입물가 부담 증가로 작용.

세부항목 2: 강달러가 한국 경제에 미치는 영향

대기업에게는 수출이 유리하게 작용하지만, 이는 단기적인 긍정 효과에 그칠 가능성이 높음.
장기화될 경우 물가 상승, 환율 불안 등의 악재 발생.
통화 정책이 유연하지 못하게 되는 문제. 금리 인하 불가 및 경기 침체 우려 심화.

헤더 4: 결론

미국 우선주의 강화와 트럼프 2기 정책은 강한 경제 생태계 구축을 목표로 하지만, 이는 글로벌 경제 질서 재편과 동맹국의 산업 구조 변화로 이어질 가능성이 크다. 한국은 이에 대한 선제적 대비 필요.
