Samsung Electronics faces challenges in securing tax breaks from the U.S. government for its new chip plant in Taylor, Texas

Samsung Electronics faces challenges in securing tax breaks from the U.S. government for its new chip plant in Taylor, Texas. Amid stiff competition from Intel, Micron Technology, and over 400 other chipmakers, Samsung's negotiations for subsidies under the $53 billion Chips and Science Act are ongoing. The plant, which will produce AI processors, has delayed its mass production start to 2025 due to rising construction costs and disappointing tax benefits. Intel, Micron, and TSMC are also investing heavily in U.S. facilities, intensifying the competition for government funding. Samsung, while not commenting on the negotiations, has highlighted its substantial U.S. investments and cooperation history at a recent event with U.S. lawmakers.
