Trump also wants to get a piece of the South Korean chip market.

Recently, the U.S. Assistant Trade Representative Rick Switzer expressed an idea to the South Korean Minister of Trade: American companies have purchased a large number of South Korean semiconductor products, especially memory, HBM, AI chips, etc., making a significant contribution to the astonishing performance of Samsung and SK Hynix. Therefore, the United States believes that they also have the right to share in the extraordinary profits of Samsung and SK Hynix.
