    Written by Ethan Bernard

    South Korea’s Hyundai Steel is holding a ceremonial groundbreaking on its electric-arc furnace (EAF) mill in Louisiana on Friday, according to local media reports.

    A Hyundai spokesperson told the Louisiana Radio Network on Friday that the mill “allows us to not rely on geopolitics or foreign countries to determine what the supply chain is when it comes to vehicle manufacturing in the US.”
