U.S. President Biden sat face to face with SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won over the video.
The face-to-face interview has been changed to video due to President Biden's coronavirus quarantine.
At this meeting, Chairman Choi announced an additional investment plan of 28.8 trillion won in the United States.
[Choi Tae-won / Chairman of SK Group: SK Group has decided to make an additional investment of 28.8 trillion won in the U.S. including semiconductors, batteries, and bio industries.] If you add up to the
existing investment plan in the US of 9.9 trillion won, the total is 37.9 trillion won.
It's a hundred billion dollars.
This is the third time that President Biden has met the head of a Korean company separately since taking office. During President Do Biden's visit to Korea, he was unilateral and promised to invest 13.7 trillion won in the US, including the construction of an electric car factory.
It is analyzed that the unusual meeting between the president of the United States and the head of a Korean company is the background of a large investment.
[Biden/President of the United States: Building a factory in the United States means creating jobs for Americans.
Since I took office, 613,000 factory jobs have been created.]
As President Biden emphasized the strengthening of supply chain cooperation for semiconductors as a measure to contain China, there are also evaluations that it is strengthening cooperation with individual companies in addition to the national level.
