韩国总统李在明正面临一场外交与经济的艰难平衡。美国政府近期向韩国开出一项特殊条件：如果韩方承诺向美国投资3500亿美元，美方愿意将包括汽 车在内的韩国输美产品关税从25%下调至15%。表面看这是一笔互惠互利的交易，但对李在明政府而言，却暗藏巨大政治风险。9月18日，李在明在接受 《时代》杂志专访时罕见坦言：如果全盘接受美方条件，我可能会面临弹劾危机。这番表态撕下了美韩友好协商的面纱，暴露出两国联盟背后复杂的利 益博弈。 在此微妙时刻，李在明派遣心腹重臣——外交部长赵显——开启访华之旅。9月17日赵显的表态透露出韩国寻求多边外交的战略意图：既要维系与美国的 同盟关系，又要保持与中国的务实合作。李在明深知，身处中美博弈的夹缝中，稍有不慎就可能重蹈日本前首相石破茂的覆辙，陷入政策困境与国内压 力的双重夹击。赵显此行，正是为韩国争取战略回旋空间的关键一步。 这场谈判的核心在于投资与关税的交换。今年7月底，双方已就协议框架达成初步共识：美国承诺降低关税，但要求韩国不仅要投入巨额资金，还需额外 采购1000亿美元的美国液化天然气。虽然看似普通经贸往来，但李在明团队心知肚明，这笔投资对韩国企业而言绝非单纯商业行为，更像是一 ...
