President Trump Claims Samsung’s “Massive Investment” in US is a Result of His Tariff Policy

I guess Samsung’s about to plop a big, fat investment into the US, huh? Somehow Trump dropped that tidbit while yakking about trade deals with Korea.

**Samsung: The Next Big Player in US? Or Maybe Just Another Headline**

So, here’s the deal. Trump’s team is busy shaking hands and signing papers with countries like India, Japan, and Korea. Part of that seems to be about getting foreign companies to throw money at the US—Apple, TSMC, SoftBank, you name it, they’ve got plans to set up shop here. And now, apparently, Samsung’s name is on that list. According to some whispers (or was it The Korea Herald?), Trump thinks they’re about to ink something big with Samsung.

Trump was chatting away, saying something like, “Samsung’s likely setting up these massive places stateside because of tariffs.” Classic Trump style, he threw in that if it weren’t for tariffs, Samsung wouldn’t even bother. So much for subtlety, huh?

Seems like if any company wants government treats, they’ve gotta throw some big bucks into the American pot. And voila! Samsung’s new baby steps in Austin and Texas might bring around 10,000 new jobs. Oh, and there’s this Taylor, Texas project—it’s supposed to begin by 2027 and, funnily enough, it’s expected to pump out those fancy 2nm tech thingies that NVIDIA and friends are all hyped about.

And get this—Samsung might even shift some appliance and TV production elsewhere. Last I checked, their earnings report hinted such. So, wrapping it up, something catchy might be on the horizon once Trump wraps up his South Korea trade stuff. Maybe next week? Or maybe not. Hard to say.
