According to South Korea’s Dong-A Ilbo, Mark Lippert, head of public affairs for Samsung Electronics North America, is expected to resign. Currently, Samsung is looking for a successor with ties to the Trump administration and the Republican Party.
The Dong-A Ilbo, citing anonymous industry sources, said Samsung was looking for a replacement for Lippert. Lippert served as the U.S. ambassador to South Korea during the Obama administration and was hired by Samsung in 2022 during the administration of former U.S. President Biden.
A Samsung spokesman said the company does not comment on speculation. Lippert has not yet responded to a request for comment.
