Jeff Landry Praises Trump's 'Action' on $20 Billion Hyundai Investment in Louisiana

Hyundai's $20 Billion Investment in Louisiana

• 💡 Governor Jeff Landry attributes the $20 billion Hyundai investment in Louisiana to President Trump's "American First" policy and a focus on action over promises.
• 🎯 Landry highlighted that Louisiana has been working to become as business-friendly as the President is making America, focusing on public safety, education reform, and historic tax reform.
• 📈 He anticipates that by the end of the summer, Louisiana will have $50 billion in construction projects, a record under any administration.

Streamlining Permitting Processes

• 🚀 Landry recounted his success in expediting permits for two large LG plants, which had been stalled for 13-14 years, getting them approved in less than a week, and in one case, one day.
• 🤝 He assured that any permitting issues for the Hyundai investment would be resolved immediately, emphasizing the efficiency of the current administration.
• ⚠️ This is contrasted with past experiences where similar large-scale projects faced significant delays.

Economic Impact and American Jobs

• 🇺🇸 The Hyundai investment is seen as a clear message that jobs are being "onshored" rather than "offshored," a shift from previous decades.
• 👨‍💼 Landry stated that this announcement demonstrates that the President and governors care about the American worker.
