Trump Announces $200 Billion South Korean Investment Plan in U.S. Energy Projects
U.S. President Donald Trump announced a historic investment of up to $200 billion from South Korea into American energy infrastructure projects, including nuclear power plants and natural gas facilities. The deal includes a $50 billion Alaska LNG project, though its participation remains uncertain due to commercial viability concerns raised by Korean officials. The Texas-based 6,472-megawatt natural gas facility is expected to begin operations in phases starting from 2029, led by Related Companies and NextEra Energy. Additionally, $120 billion has been allocated for eight large-scale nuclear reactors involving Westinghouse Electric and South Korean firms like Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power. The investment aims to create tens of thousands of U.S. jobs in construction and manufacturing while enhancing energy capacity across the country.
