(FILES) US President Donald Trump listens while Masayoshi Son, Chief Executive Officer of SoftBank, speaks at a Foxconn facility at the Wisconsin Valley Science and Technology Park in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin on June 28, 2018. Masayoshi Son, the Japanese tycoon helming US President Donald Trump's big new AI push, is the son of an immigrant pig farmer with a spectacular but also sketchy investment record. Trump's "friend Masa" was born in Japan in 1957 to ethnic Korean parents who scratched a living rearing chickens and hogs while battling discrimination.
