“Three projects just under $200,000,000,000 we're announcing today. Right? The largest, a $120,000,000,000. It's a 100,000,000,000. Plus a $20,000,000,000 contingency”
MISLEADING
What the record shows
White House announced South Korea will invest $200 billion in U.S. energy infrastructure (8 nuclear plants, Texas power facility, Alaska LNG). South Korean government has not independently confirmed details. Speaker's breakdown ($120B + $100B + $20B = $240B) contradicts stated $200B total.
