Seoul, South Korea:

Zuckerberg is expected to meet Samsung Electronics chairman Jay Y. Lee as early as later this month to discuss AI chip supply and other generative AI issues, South Korean newspaper Seoul Economic Daily reported earlier on Wednesday, citing unnamed sources with knowledge of the matter.
The Meta CEO may also meet South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, the paper said.
It would be his first known visit to South Korea since 2013.
A presidential official confirmed that Zuckerberg had sought a meeting with Yoon, without providing further details.
Samsung declined to comment.
