South Korea's President Lee may meet Samsung Electronics chairman Lee Jae-yong this week to discuss three national 'super' projects focused on semiconductors and artificial intelligence, sources said. Lee met SK Group chairman Chey Tae-won days earlier and may also meet Hyundai Motor Group executive chairman Chung Eui-sun this week. The talks come as markets speculate Washington is seeking greater Korean semiconductor investment in the US under Seoul's pledge; Trade, Industry and Energy Minister Kim said Seoul has not held talks with Washington on the matter.
