Samsung eyes Texas memory chip expansion as tariff pressure rises

Samsung’s semiconductor plant in Taylor, Texas, is being viewed as a potential site for future memory chip manufacturing, as ongoing discussions about US tariffs on memory semiconductors.

US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick recently indicated that memory chip makers might be required to either pay a 100% tariff or build in the US, though no specific criteria have been finalized.

Industry sources suggest Samsung could relocate some planned investments to Taylor to mitigate tariff impacts, but it remains uncertain whether such adjustments will be feasible given the lack of detailed policies.
