South Korea’s trade minister says a US proclamation imposing a 25 percent tariff on certain advanced computing chips would have a limited impact on South Korean companies.
US tariffs only target advanced chips like Nvidia's H200 and AMD's MI325X in the first phase.
KEY POINTS
- South Korean memory chip exports are currently excluded from the newly announced US tariffs.
- Commerce Secretary Lutnick warned South Korean and Taiwanese chipmakers may face 100% tariffs unless they invest in US manufacturing.
- A potential second phase of tariffs could expand beyond advanced AI chips to broader semiconductor imports.
