首尔讯 -- 韩国将在美国投资1200亿美元建设八座核电站，这是投资3500亿美元以换取降低关税协议的一部分。
SEOUL -- South Korea will spend $120 billion in the U.S. to build eight nuclear power plants as part of an agreement to invest $350 billion in exchange for lower tariffs.
韩国政府还表示，首尔和华盛顿将开始审查阿拉斯加液化天然气（LNG）项目，该项目涉及建设大规模管道，将天然气从阿拉斯加北部输送至南部，并建设用于海外出口的LNG接收站。
The South Korean government also said Seoul and Washington will start to review a liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Alaska that involves building a large-scale pipeline to transport natural gas from northern to southern Alaska as well as an LNG terminal for overseas exports.
首尔表示，将在审查商业可行性后决定LNG项目，但美国总统特朗普称韩国将在该项目投资540亿美元，这表明双方在该问题上并未完全协调一致。
Seoul said it will decide on the LNG project after reviewing its commercial feasibility, but U.S. President Donald Trump said South Korea will invest $54 billion in the project, an indication that the sides are not wholly coordinated on the matter.
产业通商资源部长官金正宽在声明中表示：“此次发布……开启了合作新视野，两国将在直接关联未来产业和经济安全的战略领域——如人工智能、核电和LNG——结合各自优势，共同开发商业项目。我们将坚持以国家利益为优先的原则，仅投资商业上可行的项目。”
"The announcement ... opens a new horizon of cooperation in which the two nations combine their strengths in strategic sectors -- such as AI, nuclear power, and LNG -- that are directly linked to future industries and economic security to jointly develop business ventures," Trade and Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan said in a statement. "We will adhere to the principle of prioritizing the national interest and investing only in commercially viable projects."
特朗普在白宫发言时，将韩国计划描述为“美国历史上最大的能源基础设施投资之一”。此次宣布距离特朗普与韩国总统李在明在韩国举行的APEC领导人会议上会晤、并同意设立3500亿美元投资基金已近一年。其中1500亿美元分配给造船业，2000亿美元分配给其他领域。作为回报，美国表示将对韩国输美商品的关税从25%降至15%。
Speaking at the White House, Trump described the South Korean plans as "one of the largest energy infrastructure investments in American history." The announcement comes nearly a year after Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung met at the APEC leaders gathering in South Korea and agreed to create a $350 billion investment fund. Of that amount, $150 billion was allocated to shipbuilding and $200 billion to other areas. In return, the U.S. said it would lower tariffs on incoming South Korean goods from 25% to 15%.
针对核电站项目，韩国国营电力公司将在美国建设两座核电站，而总部位于宾夕法尼亚州的西屋电气公司将建设六种型号。韩国政府表示，这将是外国首次在美国建设自有品牌的核电站。韩国企业还在通过谈判寻求收购西屋电气的股份，以分享项目利润。
For the nuclear power plant project, South Korea's state-run power plant company will build two plants in the U.S., while Pennsylvania-based Westinghouse Electric will build six models. It will be the first time a foreign country has built its own nuclear power plants in the U.S., the South Korean government said. South Korean companies are also pursuing the purchase of a stake in Westinghouse through negotiations to share profits from the project.
韩国还宣布，将在德克萨斯州建设一座装机容量为647.2万千瓦的燃气电厂，投资额达223亿美元。该电厂设计用于直接向附近的数据中心供电，首期商业运行计划于2029年启动，全面投运目标定为2032年。
South Korea also announced that the country will build a 6,472-megawatt gas power plant in Texas worth $22.3 billion. The plant will be designed to supply electricity directly to nearby data centers, with commercial operation of the first phase scheduled to begin in 2029 and full-scale operation targeted for 2032.
首尔方面还表示，美国同意韩国在收回全部投资前，从项目中获得50%的利润。此后，美国将获得90%的利润。
Seoul also said the U.S. agreed that South Korea will take 50% of profits from the projects until the country recoups all of its investments. After that, the U.S. will take 90% of profits.
