HR 9876 United States House · 118th Congress

United States-Republic of Korea Digital Trade Enforcement Act

This bill requires the U.S. Trade Representative to monitor South Korean digital regulations that may disadvantage U.S. digital companies. Within 30 days of South Korea enacting such regulations, the Trade Representative must report to Congress on whether the rules violate trade agreements, impose unfair burdens on U.S. businesses, or discriminate against U.S. digital platforms. If findings confirm discrimination, the bill mandates potential enforcement actions, including World Trade Organization disputes, Section 301 investigations, or negotiations under the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement. It directly affects U.S. digital companies operating in South Korea and South Korean government entities creating digital trade policies.
