South Korean President Lee Jae Myung will meet U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday, with autos and semiconductors among the sectors most exposed to new U.S. tariffs.The Trump administration’s new trade deal imposed a 15% tariff on imports from South Korea, a key supplier of cars, semiconductors, smartphones and machinery.&nbsp;Automobiles made up 10% of South Korea’s exports last year, while chips accounted for 21%, with exports totaling more than 40% of the economy, Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-25/five-things-to-watch-in-south-korea-s-lee-first-trump-meeting">reported</a>.Lee will be joined by executives from Hyundai Motor, Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and LG Energy Solution.&nbsp;South Korean media reported that firms could announce up to $150 billion in new U.S. investments, adding to existing projects such as Samsung’s Texas chip plant and Hyundai’s $21 billion investment in vehicle and steel facilities.The July 31 trade deal also created a $350 billion South Korean fund for U.S. projects. Trump said he would direct the investments, and 90% of the profits would return to the U.S., while Seoul stated that most of the fund would be in the form of loan guarantees, with less than 5% in equity.&nbsp;Of the total, $150 billion is earmarked for shipyards, and Lee will visit one in Philadelphia.Agriculture is another flashpoint. Trump said South Korea would be “completely open” to U.S. farm goods, though Seoul excluded rice and beef as politically sensitive. Concessions on agriculture may be weighed against lower tariffs for autos and semiconductors.Defense spending will also be discussed. Trump has pressed allies to pay more, calling South Korea a “money machine.” The country hosts 28,500 U.S. troops and plans to allocate 2.32% of its GDP to defense this year.North Korea will be on the agenda as well. Trump met Kim Jong Un three times in his first term without curbing Pyongyang’s nuclear program, and Kim last week vowed a “rapid expansion” of his arsenal as U.S.-ROK military drills began. Analysts say engagement is unlikely unless drills are suspended and denuclearization dropped as a policy goal.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was ‘bullish’ for the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)</a> with ‘normal’ message volume, ‘neutral’ for the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)</a> with ‘high’ volume, and ‘bullish’ for the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EWY">iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY)</a> with ‘high’ volume.SPY is up 10.8% year-to-date, QQQ has gained 12.2%, while EWY has surged 44.5%, outperforming both.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

South Korean firms could announce $150 billion in new U.S. projects, adding to Hyundai’s $21 billion and Samsung’s Texas chip plant, with a $350 billion fund and farm trade also in play.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company will concentrate its artificial intelligence chip development on a single architecture for its AI5 and AI6 processors, following reports that the electric-vehicle maker had shut down its Dojo supercomputer project and reassigned its team.“It doesn’t make sense for Tesla to divide its resources and scale two quite different AI chip designs,”&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1953660184351707210">Musk wrote on X</a>. He said the AI5, AI6 and subsequent chips will be “excellent for inference and at least pretty good for training,” and all effort is now focused on that line.Musk added that in a supercomputer cluster, mounting many AI5 or AI6 chips on a single board, “whether for inference or training,” could cut network cabling complexity and costs “by a few orders of magnitude.” Such a setup, he said, “one could call… Dojo 3.”Tesla is reportedly disbanding the Dojo team, with project head Peter Bannon departing and roughly 20 employees leaving to join DensityAI, a new startup founded by former Tesla executives, Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-07/tesla-disbands-dojo-supercomputer-team-in-blow-to-ai-effort">reported</a>.&nbsp;The remaining Dojo staff are being reassigned to other data centers and compute projects within Tesla.&nbsp;The company will increase its reliance on outside partners, including Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, and Samsung Electronics, for compute, and use Samsung for chip manufacturing,&nbsp;according to the report.Dojo was built to train machine-learning models for Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving driver-assistance systems, as well as its Optimus humanoid robot, by processing data from its vehicles.&nbsp;Analysts, including Morgan Stanley in 2023, had seen the system as a potential $500 billion value driver.Musk had previously described Dojo as a “long shot worth taking,” while pursuing a dual path with Nvidia.&nbsp;On Tesla’s July 23 quarterly earnings call, he suggested that future iterations of Tesla’s in-house chips could converge with partner technology: “Thinking about Dojo 3 and the AI6 inference chip, it seems like… we want to try to find convergence there, where it’s basically the same chip.”Just two months earlier, Musk had&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1930689309860045184">posted on X</a> that Tesla’s Dojo AI training computer was “making progress” and that Dojo 2 would start coming online later this year, adding that “it takes three major iterations for a new technology to be great… Dojo 2 is good, but Dojo 3 will be great.”Tesla has seen a wave of senior departures this year, including Milan Kovac, head of engineering for Optimus, and David Lau, vice president of software engineering. In June, longtime Musk aide Omead Afshar reportedly left the company abruptly.The automaker last month reached a&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/elon-musk-confirms-tesla-as-samsung-s-16-5-b-chip-partner-in-major-foundry-deal/choe9tER5D5">$16.5 billion deal with Samsung</a> to secure AI semiconductors through 2033, with plans for a Texas plant to produce its AI6 chip, diversifying beyond Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for Tesla was ‘bullish’ early Friday amid ‘low’ message volume.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TSLA">Tesla’s stock</a> has declined 15% so far in 2025.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

The move underscores a broader shift in Tesla’s AI strategy, with greater reliance on external hardware partners and an emphasis on integrating future chip designs for both training and inference.

President Donald Trump's threat to impose 100% tariffs on chips imported from overseas has sent&nbsp;shockwaves among Asian investors, who have sold off shares of domestic semiconductor companies. However, two companies defied the chip sell-off in Asia&nbsp;on Thursday.&nbsp;Taiwan-listed shares of chip foundry Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) were last seen trading up by about 5%, with the upside accompanied by above-average trading volume. Seoul-listed shares of South Korean electronics giant Samsung climbed over 1.80%.These two companies also featured in Apple’s press release sent out on Wednesday, announcing its $100 billion additional commitment to bring manufacturing to the U.S.Apple said TSMC’s Arizona plant would produce tens of millions of chips to facilitate the tech giant’s use of one of the most advanced technologies in the U.S. The Taiwanese company has three fabs at the site, one&nbsp;of which produces chips based on the N4 process technology. The fab began volume shipments in the fourth quarter of 2024.The second fab is scheduled to start volume production based on the N3 process technology in 2028, and a third fab, set to use the N2 and A16 process technologies, is expected to commence production by the end of the decade.Apple stated in the release that it was collaborating with Samsung at its Austin, Texas, facility to introduce an innovative new technology for chip manufacturing.&nbsp;Recent news that Samsung has won a $16.5 billion contract to&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/elon-musk-confirms-tesla-as-samsung-s-16-5-b-chip-partner-in-major-foundry-deal/choe9tER5D5">manufacture</a> Tesla's next-generation AI6 chip at its other Texas factory has also boosted investor sentiment.&nbsp;On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward TSMC improved to ‘neutral’ (54/100) by late Wednesday from ‘bearish’ a day ago.

Japanese chip-equipment maker Tokyo Electron fell nearly 3%, and Renesas Electronics, which makes microcontrollers, analog, power and Systems-on-Chip (SOC) products, plunged over 3.50%.Chip-testing solutions company Advantest recouped early losses and was down only modestly. South Korean memory chipmaker SK Hynix, which had fallen sharply early in the session,&nbsp;recovered its losses and traded slightly higher.&nbsp; The reversal came after Seoul’s top trade negotiator stated in a radio interview that Samsung and SK Hynix were exempted from the 100% tariffs.Analysts see Trump’s proposed move as a long-term positive for the industry. Andrew Jackson, head of Japanese equity strategy at ORTUS Advisors, stated that Japanese chipmaking equipment is indispensable for chipmakers seeking to expand their U.S. manufacturing operations, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/07/asia-chipmakers-wobble-after-trumps-100percent-tariffs-on-semiconductors.html">according</a> to CNBC.Tech giants with deep pockets, such as Apple and Nvidia, and TSMC, would ultimately emerge as winners, as they have the wherewithal to commit the most dollars, said Daniel Newman, CEO of Futurum Group.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/corning-stock-jumps-after-apple-pledges-over-2-billion-for-us-glass-expansion/chrlrTRRd5z">Corning Stock Jumps After Apple Pledges $2.5B For US Glass Expansion — But Past ‘Made In USA’ Claims Come Under Scrutiny</a>

Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed late Sunday that&nbsp;his EV company is the&nbsp;big customer behind Samsung Electronics’ 22.8 trillion won ($16.5 billion) semiconductor manufacturing agreement, according to a post on X.Earlier in the day, Samsung announced that it had secured a chipmaking contract with a global company, which will run through the end of 2033.&nbsp;While the company did not name the client, Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-28/samsung-bags-16-5-billion-deal-in-big-win-for-chipmaking-arm">reported</a> the customer is Tesla, citing a person familiar with the matter who requested anonymity."Samsung’s giant new Texas fab will be dedicated to making Tesla’s next-generation AI6 chip," Musk said, adding that the "strategic importance of this is hard to overstate.""Samsung currently makes AI4. TSMC will make AI5, which just finished design, initially in Taiwan and then [in] Arizona," he&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1949673345567592869">wrote</a> on X.&nbsp;Musk also noted that “Samsung agreed to allow Tesla to assist in maximizing manufacturing efficiency,” calling it a “critical point,” and said, “I will walk the line personally to accelerate the pace of progress. And the fab is conveniently located not far from my house.”Samsung’s shares in Seoul rose as much as 3.5% on the day, marking their biggest intraday gain in nearly four weeks.The deal is a much-needed boost for Samsung’s foundry business, which has been struggling with low order volumes and underused capacity.&nbsp;That’s a sharp contrast to rival TSMC, which is still struggling to meet the demand it can handle. In the first quarter of 2025, TSMC continued to dominate the global chip foundry space, grabbing a massive 67.6% market share, according to TrendForce. Meanwhile, Samsung lost some ground, with its share dipping to 7.7% from 8.1% the previous quarter.Samsung and TSMC are both working toward 2-nanometer chip fabrication technology. The deal with Tesla is seen as a vote of confidence in Samsung’s next-generation manufacturing capabilities.On Stocktwits,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SSNLF">retail sentiment for Samsung Electronics</a> was ‘bullish’ amid ‘extremely high’ message volume.South Korean shares of Samsung Electronics have risen 27.3% so far this year,&nbsp;while its U.S.-listed stock has risen by about 9%.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

South Korea's top security advisor has&nbsp;departed for the U.S. to participate in another round of trade talks, as the Aug. 1 tariff deadline set by U.S. President Donald Trump draws closer, according to a Bloomberg report.This will be Wi Sung-lac's second trip in two weeks. South Korea, home to top firms like&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SSNLF">Samsung (SSNLF)</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/HYMTF">Hyundai (HYMTF)</a>, faces a 25% tariff rate on imports to the U.S., up from the current 10%, in addition to sector-specific duties targeting cars, steel, and aluminum.Wi will "engage in various negotiations with American officials," Woo Sang-ho, a senior presidential secretary, told reporters Sunday, adding that more visits might follow if they are necessary, according to the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-21/top-south-korean-official-in-us-again-as-tariff-deadline-looms">report</a>.The country is expediting negotiations after delays caused by a political gridlock in Seoul.President Lee Jae Myung's newly appointed ministers for foreign affairs, finance, and industry assumed office on Monday, following uncommon bipartisan backing. The opposition People Power Party supported the appointments, citing the urgency of U.S. tariff negotiations, which they said were too critical to the economy to postpone any further.According to local media reports, Wi's goal is to lower the tariffs by a certain percentage point, and the newly appointed Foreign Minister Cho Hyun and Finance Minister Koo Yun-cheol are also arranging a visit to the U.S.It is unclear who Wi is meeting from the U.S. side.Securing a favourable tariff deal is key for South Korea, which faces economic challenges. The economy contracted in the first quarter, and the central bank has cut interest rates to 2.5% while slashing its growth forecast to 0.8%. Meanwhile, the Lee administration has unveiled a $23.3 billion supplementary budget aimed at stimulating growth and mitigating trade-related risks.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/game-stop-s-next-big-play-new-trademark-filing-for-trading-cards-marketplace-sparks-retail-buzz/ch8qyTRR5Af">GameStop’s Next Big Play?

Top security advisor Wi Sung-lac has left for the U.S. for a second round of talks in two weeks, according to a Bloomberg report.

U.S. Commerce Department officials are reportedly considering ending waivers that allow major global chipmakers to export American semiconductor equipment to factories in China.A Wall Street Journal report said a senior Commerce official met recently with companies such as Samsung Electronics and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.
