Trump's 100% tariff threat on Taiwan chips raises cost, supply chain fears
Briefly

President Trump proposed tariffs up to 100% on semiconductors from Taiwan to encourage US manufacturing. However, this move risks increased prices and supply chain interruptions for major tech firms. Taiwan, home to TSMC, argues that their semiconductor industry complements US design efforts. Analysts warn the immediate impact could lead to higher costs for key electronics, potentially affecting companies like Nvidia and Apple, while the expected production shift from Asia may take time.
In the very near future, we're going to be placing tariffs on foreign production of computer chips, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals to return production of these essential goods to the United States of America.
The proposed tariffs could drive up costs for electronics and disrupt supply chains, with companies such as Nvidia, Apple, and AMD likely to bear the brunt of higher production expenses.
