South Korea says US investments will continue, with projects reviewed for commercial viability
South Korea’s presidential office said strategic investment in the United States would continue under bilateral agreements, with individual projects reviewed for commercial viability and national interests. Trade experts warned that stronger congressional scrutiny and changes in state policies could increase uncertainty, while potentially giving South Korea more time to assess projects. The government considers the planned Encinal, Texas, gas-fired power plant commercially viable, but a power purchase agreement has not yet been signed.
