U.S. made a proposal to South Korea to revise the five-year-old trade deal, but the country rejected it. The U.S. asked for resolution of its trade imbalance, full implementation of the existing FTA, and modification and amendment of the current deal. The officials spoke amid joint meetings in the South Korean capital after Lighthizer last month gave notice that the U.S. wants to amend the deal. No date was set for a future meeting on the issue, discussions will continue in coming weeks. The agreement could be terminated if either nation said it wanted to do so. That process would t...

It was a fitting tribute to Toyota's $1 billion bet to uproot thousands of workers from techie California to a Texas city whose name means "a flat place" for its barren terrain. The logic of nestling the regional home of one of the world's dominant automakers amid Plano's headquarters row of financial institutions and insurance companie...
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles got an offer from a well-known Chinese automaker to buy it, but at a small premium over its market value. Of course the offer was rejected because of the price offered, but what’s more important here is that the Chinese powers started to show interest in Fiat.

A source said FCA executives h...
