Today, an event at the White House marked Hyundai's announcement of a $20 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing. This includes a significant $5.8 billion allocation for a steel plant in Ascension Parish, Louisiana. The gathering was attended by Speaker Johnson, President Trump, Governor Jeff Landry, and Hyundai Executive Chair Euisun Chung.
Speaker Johnson shared his thoughts on this development during the event and later issued a statement emphasizing the significance of Hyundai's investment. He remarked: “Hyundai’s $20 billion investment is further proof that President Trump is delivering on his promise to create American jobs, jumpstart the economy after President Biden’s failures, and bring back America’s manufacturing industry. This incredible investment, which includes $5.8 billion for a steel plant in my home state of Louisiana, is welcome news to American workers and their families, and adds to the more than $2 trillion in new U.S. investments President Trump has secured in just two months.”
The investment is seen as part of broader efforts to bolster American manufacturing and economic growth.
