‘For national & economic security’: Trump admin mulls chip-based tariffs on foreign electronics, says report – what it means

The Trump administration is reportedly planning new tariffs on imported electronics, based on their chip content, to boost US manufacturing. This move could impose a 25% rate on chip value, potentially raising costs for American consumers and worsening inflation. Major chipmakers like TSMC and Samsung might face significant impact, as the policy aims to reshore critical production.
