Oh boy, here we go—Samsung’s about to fling a giant wad of cash at the U.S., and I’m not even sure why this fascinates me, but it does. So, you know how Trump was all about those trade deals? Well, apparently Samsung’s getting in line for the next big splash. It’s like when you’re watching a parade, and you just know the best float hasn’t shown up yet.
Samsung’s Big U.S. Adventure—Or Whatever You Want to Call It
Trump’s been chatting up countries like Japan and South Korea, trying to snag some deals. First, it was Apple, then TSMC, SoftBank—you name it. Now, Samsung’s got its eyes on this whole “build stuff in the U.S.” vibe. The Korea Herald even mentioned Trump’s eager to pen something with them soon.
Anyway, so someone said—and I’m paraphrasing—“Hey, I heard Samsung’s gonna build big in the U.S. Thanks, tariffs!” I mean, was anyone expecting that? Because I sure wasn’t. Even Samsung didn’t say anything specific (feels like a secret club thing), but supposedly, they’re setting up shop to dodge those tariffs.
Here’s the kicker—Samsung’s only gonna get love from Trump’s crew if they throw down some serious investment dollars stateside. Makes sense, right? I guess? They’re already bulking up spots in Austin and Texas—adding 10,000 jobs or something equally outrageous. And Taylor, Texas is where things are bubbling: by 2027, they’ll have some fancy new tech churning out. NVIDIA’s practically drooling over whatever Samsung’s cooking up. That’s all tech gibberish to me, but it sounds cool.
(There was a photo too in some article—one of those big plant pictures. Tried not to fall asleep looking at it.)
Samsung plans to shuffle around its TV and appliance production, and they’ve hinted at this in their latest money talk. So, if they score a tariff deal, that’d smooth things over. We’re all just sitting tight, waiting for Trump to seal the deal with South Korea—could happen next week or maybe never. Who even knows these days?
So yeah, that’s the gist. Wild, isn’t it? Or maybe it’s just late, and I’m rambling.
