SEOUL, Jan 21 (Reuters) - South Korea's Samsung

Electronics ( SSNLF ) and LG Electronics are

considering moving some manufacturing of home appliances from

their Mexican plants to their U.S. plants, a South Korean

newspaper reported on Tuesday.

The review comes as U.S. President Donald Trump said he was

considering imposing 25% duties on imports from Canada and

Mexico on Feb. 1.

Samsung Electronics ( SSNLF ) is considering moving the manufacturing

of dryers from its plant in Mexico to its plant in South

Carolina, Korea Economic Daily reported, citing unnamed industry

sources.

LG Electronics is also considering moving the manufacturing

of refrigerators from Mexico to its factory in Tennessee, which

makes washing machine and dryers, the newspaper said.

Samsung said it plans to monitor the situation and respond

flexibly, as it operates production bases in many regions of the

world. LG Electronics said it plans to respond to changes in the

market by adjusting the production system and production sites.
