South Korea has enacted a special bill that provides the necessary legal framework to implement its $350 billion investment commitment to the United States.

This legislative move is designed to support the investment pledge made by Seoul in exchange for more favorable 'reciprocal' tariff rates from Washington.

The new legal structure will likely enhance operational clarity for both domestic and foreign investors, impacting the overall investment landscape between the two nations.
