While the government's response remains disappointing, there are also movements to make up for the unfavorable conditions for us.
In particular, a bill to subsidize Korean cars has been proposed in the US Senate.
It was submitted by the Georgia state senator, where the Hyundai Motor plant will be built.

The core of the bill submitted to the US Senate under the name of 'A Reasonable Electric Vehicle Bill for America' is a temporary suspension of subsidy conditions.
The Inflation Reduction Act requires subsidies of up to $7,500 and about 10 million won in North America only for electric vehicles that are finally assembled in North America. That's why it didn't apply.
This bill was submitted by Senator Rafael Warnock of Georgia, where the Hyundai Motor plant will be built. The Hyundai Motor plant is scheduled to be completed in 2025, so if the bill is passed, the penalty could be avoided.
Congressman Andy Kim of Korean descent said Warnock's proposal was a good start, and that Congress was also looking at ways to address South Korea's concerns.
When asked whether the law could be amended at a time when US President Biden emphasized Made in America every day, he answered:
[Andy Kim/Democratic Congressman, USA: No one wants to be interpreted as trying to hang the idea of 'Made in America' (made in the US) completely shut down against Korea or these strategic partners. ]
Rep. Andy Kim, however, said that he would be away from Washington from the day after the second day (2nd) to November, when the midterm elections are held, indicating that the actual revision will only be possible after the midterm elections are over.
