Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong’s recent trip to North America was likely aimed at finalizing site selection for Samsung’s new $17 billion chip foundry plant.

Lee appeared at a business airport in Seoul in the early morning of Nov. 14. He briefly talked to the press before hopping onto a charter flight to Canada.
