The White House has reaffirmed South Korea's $200 billion U.S. investment plan as a significant achievement of President Donald Trump's administration. Press Secretary Katie Zacharia highlighted the plans during her first official briefing, emphasizing the president's commitment to fulfilling campaign promises. The investment package includes $120 billion for the construction of eight large nuclear reactors, $54 billion for Alaska's liquefied natural gas (LNG) pipeline and terminal development, and $22.3 billion for a 6-gigawatt natural gas power generation facility in La Salle County, Texas.
The Alaska project is described as crucial for supplying energy to the Pacific Rim and supporting fuel sales to U.S. allies. However, South Korea has yet to finalize its participation in two major projects, the Alaska LNG and nuclear projects, which remain at the initial review stage pending approval of commercial viability and compliance with South Korean legal requirements.
