For this reason, it had already been made clear that in future no more money will be pumped into the development of new devices so that they can come in the same tact as the Samsung flagship on the market. Meanwhile, a problem threatens in a successful area. The Trump government in the United States intends to levy protective tariffs on washing machines in the trade war with China, among other things. That would make the devices of LG much more expensive in one of the most important markets but also and reduce sales. The South Korean management has already told distributors in the US that they should be prepared for the new situation.
