Hi I am a korean...
United States and South Korean negotiators struck the world's largest bilateral free trade agreement on Monday, giving the United States a badly needed lift to its trade policy at home and South Korea a chance to reinvigorate its export economy.
It is an article. It said that FTA is a chance to reinvigorate for Korea.
But it is an ostensible reason.
Actually, FTA is our big burden. Our country's laborers opposite FTA
because it strengthens the rich-get-richer and the poor-get-poorer.
I ask you
"Do you agree that FTA is disadvantageous for Korea?"
Neverdie--
Welcome to A2K.
I'm taking the liberty of footnoting that "FTA" means "Fair Trade Agreement" and providing this link for background information.

Australia's also got an FTA with the US. But since these so called agreements are negotiated, and cover a particular range of goods, it seems to be that they're not free trade agreements at all. They're negotiated agreements.
