- Japan and the US have agreed on the first semiconductor project under the 550 billion US dollar investment plan agreed last year, Japan and the US said at a press conference in Tokyo on Thursday. It is estimated that no more than $21 billion will be invested in Grofond's planned new chip factory in New York State. Ryomasa Akazawa said that in the AI era, cooperation with the US to guarantee chip supply is critical to economic security. Japan is still firmly committed to implementing the terms of last year's trade agreement; the latest project will further strengthen Japan-US relations.
