Last month, Hyundai Motor Group unveiled plans to invest $21bn in the US from 2025 to 2028 to expand production capabilities, advance future technologies, and improve energy infrastructure.
This decision aligns with the Trump administration's protectionist trade policies, which include additional US import tariffs aimed at boosting domestic manufacturing and reducing imports.
As part of its new commitment, the automaker plans to invest $9bn in expanding its US annual production capacity to 1.2 million vehicles across its brands, including Hyundai Motor, Kia, and Genesis.
