Trump to tariff chips made in Taiwan, targeting TSMC

www.pcmag.com Trump To Tariff Chips Made In Taiwan, Targeting TSMC

The tariffs would ensnare cutting-edge smartphone and PC-related chips for Apple, AMD and Nvidia if enacted. But Trump is betting his plan will bring more chip production to the US.

Summary
Trump plans to impose tariffs of up to 100% on semiconductors manufactured in Taiwan, aiming to push U.S. tech companies like Apple, Nvidia, and AMD to produce chips domestically.
The tariffs target Taiwan's TSMC, a key supplier, despite its partial U.S. production in Arizona.
Trump criticized Biden’s CHIPS Act for funding companies like Intel and proposed tariffs as an alternative incentive.
Experts warn the move could raise prices for electronics as most TSMC chips are assembled in Asia before export to the U.S.

Trump did this, and by extension that means that idiot American voters did this.
- This was included in his election stump speeches. Taiwan is going to pay for US's war on China.
- It's hard to say which voters you're talking about. Arrogant hubris Democrat voters gave us Trump. And Republicans that voted for him gave us Trump.
  
  People that didn't vote for Kamala gave you Trump.
  
  Democrats refusing to hold their politicians accountable for the last 50 years resulted in someone like Trump being elected. They accepted small levels of evil that grew exponentially larger with every election, and it's grown so large that someone like Trump was able to make it on the ballot. People like Trump and the country's downward spiral into fascism is a direct action of liberal voters.
  
  Interesting how you all believe voting is accurate and not manipulated in the US.
  
  Lol, guy with 1984 as the username thinks everything is a conspiracy
  
  I've got an interesting read for you to consider.
  I'm not saying everything was rigged but voter suppression certainly did its part.
  
  Everything? Not even close. :)
  
  US people will never admit it but you are right. Since usa creation democrats only won 2 time more that mean they vote for one major party, get desatistfied and vote for the other party. It was obvious that by ignoring all critisism that democrats would lose
