    look closer at everything you own. 99.9% of it will be 40% more expensive if you have to buy it again

      Hypothetically, if I want to buy the Samsung S25 next year, and Tariffs are in place in America. I live in the UK. Why would my purchase be 40% more expensive? Samsung uses their own nodes, own fabs to manufacture their chips in south korea, they assemble the phones in Vietnam, after which they get shipped to the UK. Why would American tariffs affect literally everything as you have just said?
