Briefings US pushes Vietnam to decouple from China, raising risks for South Korean firmsSamsung, LG and others could face compliance costs as origin rules harden under US trade enforcement push The U.S. is pressuring Vietnam to reduce its reliance on Chinese components in technology exports, Reuters reported Tuesday, citing unnamed sources familiar with ongoing negotiations. As part of a broader U.S. review of trade privileges, Washington has warned Hanoi that Vietnamese-made tech products, including those assembled by major U.S. and South Korean companies, may face punitive tariffs as high as 46% unless they shift away from Chinese inputs. The push is part of Washington’s effort to limit China’s role in global supply chains and comes ahead of a self-imposed July 9 deadline by U.S. trade officials to conclude the review. © Korea Risk Group.
