(3rd LD) Trump unveils S. Korea's investment plans for Alaska LNG project, Texas power plant, 8 nuclear reactors

On September 30, U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled South Korea's investment plans under their bilateral trade agreement, which includes major energy infrastructure projects. The plans, totaling $350 billion, committed South Korea to investing $150 billion in shipbuilding and the remaining $200 billion in energy projects for the United States.

These projects include a 6-gigawatt power generation facility in Texas, eight large-scale nuclear power plants, and a liquefied natural gas (LNG) pipeline in Alaska. Trump emphasized these investments as a significant step towards securing America's energy supply chain, ensuring energy dominance, and strengthening the partnership between South Korea and the Pacific region.

The natural gas power plant in Texas will be among the largest ever built, while the eight nuclear reactors will make the U.S. the world's leading producer of nuclear power. The Alaska LNG pipeline will deliver nearly 4 billion cubic feet of LNG per day, putting the U.S. at a level comparable to no other.
