Hyundai has b✅ecome the latest company to announce a major manuf🎶acturing investment in the U.S.

Executives from the South Korean automaker met with President Donald Trump at the White House Monday to announce a roughly $21 billion investment, which includes building a $5.8 billion steel plant in Louisiana. That state's governor, Jeff Landry, also attended.

The news comes after chipmaking giant Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSM) and Japanese conglomerate SoftBank, recently announced they would pump billions into the ꦐU.S. as President Trump prioritizes increasing domestic manufacturing.

In addition, Trump has said he would be slapping 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:reciprocal tariffs on foreign imports on April 2. Earlier this year, Hyundai CEO José Muñoz told Axios the firm had "decided to invest big time in America as the most important market," because "the best way for us to navigate tariffs is to increase localization."
