South Korea's Auto Exports Rise Despite US Tariffs in August

South Korea's car exports went up in August, even with US tariffs.

They sold a lot of cars, making it their best August ever in terms of money earned.

Demand for cars rose everywhere except North America.

Exports to Europe did especially well.

Electric vehicles (EVs) were very popular.

At home, more people in South Korea bought cars, especially EVs.

This increase in sales, both abroad and at home, helped increase car production.
