Meanwhile, Samsung won’t be subject to tariffs.

Huh? And why not? Samsung built and owns many factories in China, and directly employs thousands of Chinese workers. Most of Samsung's products are made in China by Samsung owned factories. Samsung's phones sold in the U.S.A. will indeed be subject to tariffs on Chinese goods. Apple is better positioned, as they contract through Taiwanese companies that can produce outside China, and Apple has factories in the USA and outside of China. Pretty stupid of Samsung to have all their production in China.

Links? While basically all cell phones have some components that are made in China, I have read previously that most Samsung phones are assembled in South Korea.

Doesn’t Samsung produce 50% of their phones in Vietnam?

And are cutting their production in China?

Samsung can send phones from Vietnam to the USA and avoid the China tariffs?

Am I wrong on this???
