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

Okay, so here’s the scoop: Samsung might just be on the brink of dropping a major investment bombshell in the US. At least, that’s the word on the street after President Trump spilled the beans during one of his trade chatter sessions with South Korea. Why did that random detail catch my eye? No clue. But it did.

Samsung: The Next Big Player with a Huge US Investment? Maybe.

So, picture this: The Trump administration, busy flitting around with trade deals from India to Japan and, yeah, South Korea too. One of their moves? Getting foreign firms to invest big bucks here. Sounds familiar? It should – Apple, TSMC, SoftBank – all these big names tossing around “multi-billion” dollar US plans. Guess who might be next? Yep, Samsung. Trump’s probably on the verge of scribbling a deal with them, if you believe The Korea Herald. And why shouldn’t you?

Apparently, tariffs are the magic wand here, making Samsung think, “Hey, let’s build massive facilities stateside.” Tariffs are their new best friend, or so I’ve heard.

Funny enough, Trump mentions Samsung without really saying “Samsung.” It’s like one of those “I was told by someone…” kind of deals. Classic.

Anyhoo, it seems like those who splash cash in the US get brownie points with the administration. Samsung looks like they’re next in line. What’s cooking? Oh, they’re looking to beef up their sites in Austin and Texas — which, not gonna lie, will hand out like 10,000 jobs. Nice, right? They’re also knee-deep in a project over in Taylor, Texas. This place might just roll out killer tech like the 2nm nodes by 2027. I hear that NVIDIA’s watching closely. No pressure!

Shift gears to appliances and TVs — Samsung’s thinking of moving those to new spots hinted in their last earnings report. Will tariffs cover it? Probably. Maybe. Who knows. But expect some fireworks once Trump ties up his trade book with South Korea. Maybe as early as next week. Who can guess these days, right?
