Korea just became a named core partner in America's AI buildout.
At a San Francisco summit, Korea's president brought SK, Samsung, and Broadcom together with Nvidia and OpenAI, unveiling agreements worth 1,400 trillion won, roughly 1 trillion dollars.

The open question is execution — how fast this framework turns into signed chip orders.
