  "account": "SK Hynix's US subsidiary Solidigm is mulling over the possibility of establishing a NAND flash memory chip manufacturing plant in the United States, according to sources cited by Reuters. Upstate New York is seen as a prime location for the potential factory. The South Korean chipmaker is under mounting pressure from the Trump administration to bolster US semiconductor production, as Washington intensifies efforts to bring semiconductor manufacturing back to the country. The project would be distinct from SK Hynix's ongoing talks with Intel regarding memory chip manufacturing at Intel's Ohio facility, according to the sources.",
