The strategy reflects a shift toward localized production to secure market access and hedge against protectionist trade policies.
South Korean firms are confirmed to be accelerating investment in US AI infrastructure, driven by a strategy to mitigate potential future tariffs and expand AI capabilities. This initiative is further supported by President Lee Jae Myung's confirmed visit to San Francisco to secure AI investments aimed at addressing domestic job stagnation despite high semiconductor profits.
