By Sam Nussey and Anton Bridge TOKYO (Reuters) -SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son's plan to invest billions in AI in the United States shows one way to handle the new Trump administration: go big and deal with the details later.

Trump trotted out Masa’s line about 50,000 new jobs and $50 billion of investment in the U.S. Masa beamed into the TV cameras, but grew flustered when one of the American reporters confused him with Terry Gou, the Foxconn boss. “No, no, no,” said Masa. “I am Masayoshi Son, and SoftBank is not a bank.”

The president said it will be the largest AI infrastructure ever built and that it will help counter technology threats from China and other countries.
