Samsung halting old equipment sales amid fears of U.S. backlash, FT reports

Samsung is storing, instead of selling, second-hand chipmaking machines over fears of breaking U.S. export controls and sanctions, The Financial Times’ Qianer Liu and Christian Davies report. “We are worried could fall into the wrong hands, and that this could cause problems in our relations with the U.S. government,” said a person close to the chipmaker.
