Expanding on this, 600k students don't exist, since many cost conscious students go to Australia, Japan and UK which also have lower travel times. 600k students is half to the total foreign students outflow.Tech executives are probably pushing for it but let's be honest, there are many students to double the number. Most of them who go to Japan, Australia and UK go for lower costs.
Japan's top trade negotiator cancels trip to U.S. over trade deal issues
KEY POINTS
"During the coordination with the US, because it became apparent that certain points required further technical discussion, the trip was cancelled," said Japan Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi.
Hayashi said Tokyo will urge the U.S. to amend its presidential order on reciprocal tariffs.
Also on the agenda was also a written confirmation of the details of Japan's $550 billion investment package for the U.S., according to Reuters.

Denmark summons US diplomat over alleged Greenland influence campaign

I'll put this in the Trump thread, but it also could go in the American Economics thread...
This seems like a big bet on American shipbuilding and probably the best chance America has had to enter the global commercial shipbuilding arena in... decades?
Obviously we don't know how this will play out, but this is a fairly significant investment by a world leading shipbuilder with commitment to training, infrastructure and firm orders.
I emphasized the annual production because that is a large number. 20 ships per year is probably greater than the entire current US commercial shipbuilding output.
South Korean conglomerate Hanwha Group has announced a $5 billion infrastructure plan for Hanwha Philly Shipyard-. as part of South Korea’s broader $150 billion commitment to revitalizing the American shipbuilding industry.
In a related development, Hanwha Shipping’s U.S. subsidiary has placed orders for 10 Jones Act-compliant medium-range oil and chemical tankers from Hanwha Philly Shipyard, with the first vessel expected for delivery by early 2029. The company has also exercised an option for a second LNG carrier, following last month’s contract for what will be the first U.S.-ordered, export-market-viable LNG carrier in almost five decades.
The ambitious infrastructure program aims to dramatically increase the shipyard’s production capacity through the installation of additional docks and quays, with plans to review the construction of a new block assembly facility. These enhancements could potentially increase Hanwha Philly Shipyard’s annual production from fewer than two vessels to up to 20.

Yeah this won't go well. There are two different interpretations which are quite divergent.
$5B is nowhere close to enough to get to 20 ships per year. They are going to be heavily bottlenecked by labor quantity and quality. If it was purely a matter of insufficient knowhow and investment, it would have been solved long ago.I'll put this in the Trump thread, but it also could go in the American Economics thread...
