WASHINGTON, Oct. 2 (Yonhap) -- U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday a deal with South Korea "keeps getting better," announcing a US$8.4 billion "enhanced oil recovery project," as Seoul and Washington are working to implement the Asian country's investment commitment under their trade deal signed last year.
Trump made the remarks in a social media post, after he unveiled the first package of South Korea's investment projects under the trade deal, including the construction of a gas-fired power plant in Texas and eight large-scale nuclear power plants.
"I am thrilled to announce the Republic of Korea Deal keeps getting BETTER!" he wrote on Truth Social, referring to South Korea by its official name. "8.4 Billion Dollars for an enhanced Oil Recovery Project. Producing more Oil and Gas means American Energy Dominance and Energy Security in the World for the Future!"
He did not elaborate on the details of the project.
Trump highlighted the investment project as he has underscored his economic achievements ahead of the November midterm elections amid public concerns over the monthslong war with Iran that has resulted in high energy prices and deepened economic uncertainties.
Last year, the two countries reached the trade agreement that committed South Korea to investing $350 billion in the United States -- $150 billion for the shipbuilding sector and the remainder for strategic investments -- in return for lower U.S. tariffs on Korean goods.

华盛顿，10 月 2 日（韩联社）——美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周五表示，与韩国的协议“不断完善”，并宣布了一项价值 84 亿美元的“提高石油采收率项目”。首尔和华盛顿正在努力落实韩国去年签署的贸易协议中的投资承诺。
特朗普在社交媒体上发表了上述言论。此前，他公布了根据贸易协议对韩国的首批投资项目，其中包括在德克萨斯州建设一座燃气发电厂和八座大型核电站。
“我很高兴地宣布，与大韩民国的协议越来越好！”他在Truth Social上写道，这里他用的是韩国的官方名称。“84亿美元用于提高石油采收率项目。生产更多石油和天然气意味着美国在未来世界能源领域占据主导地位，并确保能源安全！”
他没有详细说明该项目的细节。
在公众对持续数月的伊朗战争感到担忧之际，特朗普强调了这项投资项目，并借此机会宣传了他的经济成就。这场战争导致能源价格高企，经济不确定性加剧，也给公众带来了诸多困扰。
去年，两国达成贸易协议，韩国承诺向美国投资 3500 亿美元——其中 1500 亿美元用于造船业，其余用于战略投资——以换取美国降低对韩国商品的关税。
