Tokyo will also invest in gas-fired power plants in Pennsylvania and Texas.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"476\" data-end=\"690\">The reactor deal is the latest initiative under a $550 billion investment framework agreed upon by the U.S. and Japan as part of arrangements that allowed Donald Trump to reduce automobile tariffs and other duties.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"692\" data-end=\"880\">The investment was announced in a fact sheet released by the White House just hours after a meeting between President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi in Washington.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"882\" data-end=\"1118\">The document also outlined plans for closer economic cooperation between Japan and the U.S., including the development of additional supply chains for critical minerals, as well as expanded cooperation in technology, space, and defense.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1120\" data-end=\"1292\">The push to develop energy infrastructure, particularly alternative sources such as SMRs, is driven by growing electricity demand from the artificial intelligence industry.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1294\" data-end=\"1401\">SMRs typically have lower capacity than traditional reactors but can be designed and deployed more quickly.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1403\" data-end=\"1502\">Specific details, including when the reactors will become operational, have not yet been disclosed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":151343,"menu_order":0,"template":"","newscat":[9],"newstag":[],"issues":[],"class_list":["post-151342","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newscat-novosti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/151342","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/151343"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=151342"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"newscat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newscat?post=151342"},{"taxonomy":"newstag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newstag?post=151342"},{"taxonomy":"issues","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issues?post=151342"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
