Giggity! Trump Tries to Make a Deal with South Korea Faster Than I Can Drink a Pawtucket Patriot Ale!

Holy Crap! More Tariffs?

Alright folks Peter Griffin here your friendly neighborhood newsman ready to tackle the big issues. So apparently the U.S. and South Korea are trying to avoid some tariffs. You know tariffs those things that make your beer and hot dogs more expensive? Oh this reminds me of the time when I tried to import a giant inflatable T Rex... but that's a story for another time.

Freakin' Sweet Meeting!

So these big shots Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (sounds like a villain from a James Bond movie am I right?) and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer met with some South Korean dudes Finance Minister Choi Sang mok and Industry Minister Ahn Duk geun. It was a 'very successful' meeting according to Bessent. I bet they had a blast swapping stories about golf and tax evasion. Giggity! They're aiming to hammer out a deal by July which is faster than it takes me to explain the plot of 'Surfin' Bird' to Lois.

Shipbuilding and Energy? Sounds Like a Stewie Scheme!

Now the South Koreans are offering to cooperate on shipbuilding and energy. Shipbuilding eh? That reminds me of that time I tried to build a raft with Quagmire and Cleveland to escape Rhode Island after I accidentally became governor and immediately bankrupted the state. It didn't end well. As for energy I hope they're not talking about nuclear power. Remember that time I got a job at the nuclear plant? Good times good times!

Autos? More Like Auto No!

Apparently the auto sector is a big sticking point. South Korea doesn't want to get slapped with a 25% tariff on their cars. I get it nobody wants to pay more for a car. Except maybe Mort Goldman he'd probably still try to haggle for a discount the cheapskate. But I'm sure they'll find a way to make this work like the time I had to deliver a baby and the only way to get it out was for Joe to punch me in the stomach.

Defense Costs: Don't Mention the War!

Trump wanted to talk about defense costs during these trade talks but the South Koreans shut that down faster than I can chug a beer. It's like when Lois tries to talk to me about my weight I just change the subject to how Brian needs to stop drinking martinis at breakfast. But I'm sure they'll figure this out. Remember the last thing we need is a war because that would be worse than having to watch one of Meg's school plays

Politics and Tariffs? Peanut Butter Jelly Time!

Oh and there's an election coming up in South Korea! It's a total political mess. Apparently the acting president is willing to play nice with the U.S. because they helped South Korea out during the Korean War. But the opposition party is all like 'Hold on a second pal!' It's like when Brian tries to give me advice on how to run my life and I'm all 'Shut up dog!'
