The South Korean government promised support to semiconductor sector companies facing the possibility of the United States imposing new tariffs on chips. The measure comes in a context of international trade tensions affecting the global technology sector.
The companies directly involved are Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, which are the two main global memory chip manufacturers. Both companies are based in South Korea and are considered pillars of the country's technology industry.
In addition to being global leaders in memory chip production, Samsung Electronics and SK hynix are also the two companies with the highest market capitalization in South Korea, which reinforces the strategic importance of these companies for the national economy.
The South Korean government expressed its commitment to protect and support these companies facing possible American tariffs, recognizing the significant impact that such measures could have on the competitiveness of South Korean companies in the international market.
