We are turning Korea's Investment commitments into HUGE Construction Projects, and tens of thousands of AMERICAN JOBS. These are massive Energy Projects, adding Power Capacity in the United States.

This is new Construction, new Manufacturing, and GREAT Jobs for American Workers. First, the United States and Korea are moving forward on a 120 BILLION DOLLAR Nuclear Power Program to build EIGHT large-scale Nuclear Reactors right here in the United States, Six Westinghouse AP1000 Reactors, and two Korean APR-1400 Reactors.

More Baseload Electricity, and greater Energy Security for our Country. Second, the United States and Korea have agreed to commence working together on the 50 Billion Dollar ALASKA LNG PROJECT, unlocking the tremendous resources of our Great State of Alaska, and creating new American Gas Infrastructure, and building it with our wonderful American Workers.

This Project will deliver transformational change for the People of Alaska. Third, a huge 22 Billion Dollar, 6.4-gigawatt Natural Gas Fired Power Project in Encinal, Texas.

This will bring tremendous new, reliable Power Capacity to Texas. These are the kinds of Projects that can transform America for Generations, MORE POWER, MORE CONSTRUCTION, MORE MANUFACTURING, MORE ENERGY SECURITY, and major new opportunities for American Workers.

These Projects will support the TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS of Investment that have come into the United States under my Administration, including for Advanced Manufacturing, Semiconductors, and all of the Great Industries of the Future. We are building that capacity HERE, in THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and the Projects announced today will help power us for Generations to come.

These Deals are driven by our Trade Deals. REAL INVESTMENT, REAL PROJECTS, REAL CAPACITY, and REAL JOBS in America.

REAL INVESTMENT, REAL PROJECTS, REAL CAPACITY, and REAL JOBS in America. - "RT @realDonaldTrumpToday, I am pleased to announce, that the last American Forces are leaving Iraq! It has been a long time, with very bad decision-making that got us involved in this quagmire in the first place, but soon, that will be part of History.

This is a Great Day for America and, importantly, we leave with Iraq having a wonderful new Prime Minister, Ali al-Zaidi, somebody I supported from the beginning and fully endorsed. He won an Election that he was not expected to win, and did so, in a landslide!

Launched in 2003 under the presidency of George W. Bush, and continued under the Administration of Barack Hussein Obama in 2014, and Sleepy Joe Biden, Operation Inherent Resolve ends in 2026 under the leadership of President Donald J.

This Day is a victory for the United States, a victory for Iraq, and a decisive victory over ISIS, which has been completely decimated by the Trump Administration, First Term, along with other very bad and dangerous players. Unlike Afghanistan, where much Military Equipment and everything else was left behind, and 13 Warriors lie dead, with many badly wounded, this orderly departure of Coalition forces and equipment from Erbil Air Base marks the end of a very expensive excursion into Hell.

I set a clear mission, gave our Commanders the tools to finish it, and refused to let a temporary presence become a permanent one. I had a choice to stay or to leave, and felt, without question, that it was time for America to go home!

Prime Minister al-Zaidi, is outstanding, and he will hopefully be able to handle things very well.

Explanation:

President Donald Trump made multiple posts on Truth Social in the last hour: - "RT @realDonaldTrump In New York, I met with Lee Jae Myung, the President of the Republic of Korea, and we agreed to launch 200 Billion Dollars of new Investments in AMERICA! ...

First, the United States and Korea are moving forward on a 120 BILLION DOLLAR Nuclear Power Program ... Second ... the 50 Billion Dollar ALASKA LNG PROJECT ...

Third, a huge 22 Billion Dollar, 6.4-gigawatt Natural Gas Fired Power Project in Encinal, Texas ... AMERICA IS BUILDING AGAIN!" - "In New York, I met with Lee Jae Myung, the President of the Republic of Korea, and we agreed to launch 200 Billion Dollars of new Investments in AMERICA! ..." The main signal is that Trump is publicly framing South Korea as a capital source for a large U.S. energy and industrial buildout, centered on nuclear power, Alaska LNG, and gas-fired generation in Texas.

If this is translated into formal agreements, it would reinforce his broader trade strategy of tying market access and alliance management to large outbound investment commitments into the United States, while also signaling a stronger push for domestic baseload power capacity and energy security. Historically, U.S.-South Korea economic relations have been anchored by trade, security cooperation, and periodic disputes over burden-sharing and industrial policy, while major cross-border energy projects often move slowly because of financing, permitting, and regulatory hurdles.

The post matters because it suggests Trump is using a presidential meeting to publicize a much larger industrial and energy agenda, which could affect markets tied to nuclear, LNG, and power infrastructure, but the operational significance will depend on whether these commitments become signed, funded projects rather than political announcements.
