Well, that’s part of the challenge. Samsung Electronics, Japanese suppliers and shipments of devices such as smartphones and computers could be disrupted by a trade war between Japan and South Korea. The U.S. Treasury Department said on Friday that it was considering imposing tariffs ranging from 10 percent to 25 percent, depending on the level of imports targeted. Following the ruling, the Japanese government imposed a trade embargo on South Korean technology goods, citing national security reasons. Recent negotiations between the nations ended without success, leaving export bans in place and the supply chain at greater risk of disruption.
