"U.S. President Donald Trump touched down in Asia this week, not just for diplomacy, but to sign deals that could shape the next chapter of the global technology race. The U.S. inked Technology Prosperity Deals (TPD) with Japan and South Korea with an eye toward spurring collaboration on AI, semiconductors, quantum computing, biotech, space, 6G, and other technologies. The agreements aim to enhance cooperation, strengthen strategic ties, align regulations, and support economic and national security objectives, among other objectives."
"The new agreements follow roughly a month after the U.S. strengthened tech ties with the U.K. The U.S. is effectively locking in partnerships to tap Japan and Korea's expertise - Japan leads in advanced materials, robotics, and space technologies, while South Korea dominates memory chip production. The U.S.-Japan agreement aims to boost AI exports, enhance technology protections, and refocus collaboration on AI standards and innovation, per the White House."
"Meanwhile, the U.S. and Korea will collaborate to ease "operational burdens" for tech companies, focusing on removing obstacles to "innovative data localization and hosting architectures." Japan and the U.S. plan to "advance pro-innovation AI policy frameworks and initiatives to support a U.S.- and Japan-led AI ecosystem and promote exports across the full stack of U.S. and Japanese AI infrastructure, hardware, models, software, applications, and related standards," according to a White House press release on October 28."

The U.S.-Japan deal targets boosting AI exports, enhancing technology protections, and refocusing collaboration on AI standards and innovation across infrastructure, hardware, models, software, and applications. The U.S.-Korea deal seeks coordinated AI export controls and enforcement, metrology and standards innovation, and reduced operational burdens for tech firms by easing data localization and hosting obstacles. The pacts also seek to lessen dependence on China.
