President Trump Claims Samsung’s “Massive Investment” in the US Results from Tariff Policy

Oh man, where do I even start with this Samsung thing? So, guess what? Looks like Samsung’s the next big player to drop some serious cash in the US. And yeah, it’s got Trump written all over it—because trade deals, right?

Okay, picture this: you’ve got Trump, wheeling and dealing with South Korea, India, and Japan. And the legend says if these foreign giants want to chill in the US market, they gotta spend big bucks here. Apple, TSMC, SoftBank—like a parade of dollar signs. And now, Samsung’s caught the bug too! The Korea Herald spills the beans that Trump thinks a Samsung deal is about to pop.

Cue Trump quote: “Samsung’s, like, all about those tariffs, man. Building huge places here? Yeah, ’cause of the tariffs. No tariffs, no deals.” Dramatic, right? Even Samsung—kind of lurking in the wings—hears the morning gossip, “Big plant’s coming, folks. Tariffs can’t mess with us.”

So, Samsung’s plan? Bait the administration with mega investment vibes. Sounds like Austin and Texas might get some love, with jobs—a cool 10,000—or so the buzz goes. They’re already knee-deep in a Taylor, Texas project, geared to crank out these wild 2nm nodes that companies like NVIDIA are drooling over. Got that?

Oh, and there’s this pic—imagine—Samsung throwing $37 billion into doubling the Taylor campus size. Some crazy economics might’ve clipped $8B off that, but hey, the CHIPS Act fund came through. Apparently, production’s getting jammed through these shiny new plants (or at least that’s the pitch).

So yeah, Samsung’s switching up their appliance and TV game to other locales. Tariffs? They’re in the cards, so maybe we’re seeing a sweet deal unfold. Maybe next week, when Trump’s thumb hits the green button on that South Korea trade magic, we’ll get our big headline moment.

End of the day—who knows, ya know? It’s wild times, companies shake-up earth and sky for a good deal. And other things—who can say?
