President Trump Claims Samsung Plans “Massive Investment” in US, Credits Tariff Policy

You know, sometimes I think life’s just a giant chessboard where politicians and corporations move around pieces with barely any regard for us pawns. Anyway, so apparently Samsung’s got something big brewing, US-style. Trump must’ve spilled the beans while he was busy chatting about trade stuff with South Korea. It all sounds grand, doesn’t it? I mean, if you’re into the whole mega-investment in America thing.

So get this, Trump’s getting all cozy with countries like India, Japan, and you guessed it—South Korea. Feelings are mutual, I suppose, when there’s a bit of cash exchange. Remember the big buzz when Apple, TSMC, and SoftBank were waving their dollar signs around, planning to set roots in the US? Well, Samsung’s joining the party now. The Korea Herald even said Trump’s hoping to ink a deal with them soon. Isn’t that something?

I stumbled on this quote—I swear, sometimes it sounds like Trump’s talking directly to me: “Because of tariffs, Samsung’s building a mega-whatever in the States. Tariffs are the reason, see?” It’s like he’s saying, “Hey, it’s working!”

Funny how business incentives work. You want perks? Drop some cash. Simple. At least that’s the game plan with Samsung, it seems. They’re eyeing Austin and Texas for expansion. Ten thousand jobs! What’s not to love? By the way, there’s this thing in Taylor, Texas—wrapped up by 2027, they say. Probably gonna churn out tech stuff that’s supposedly exciting (cue NVIDIA nodding approveingly).

Oh, and there’s this picture of the Taylor campus. Looks mind-bogglingly huge. Changes everything you thought you knew about size. Got snazzy CHIPS Act funding too, though had to pull back by 8 billion bucks. Still, not too shabby.

Samsung’s also thinking of moving its appliance gigs elsewhere—quarterly earnings hint at it. So a nice tariff arrangement might do wonders. As we hold breath for Trump’s South Korea trade policy to drop, remember: it might just be around the corner any moment now.

Or maybe it won’t. Who really knows with these things?
