President Donald Trump announced a plan to impose a 100% tariff on imported computer chips, which may raise the prices of electronics, automobiles, and household appliances. U.S. manufacturers will be exempt from this import tax. The decision follows a chip shortage during the COVID-19 pandemic, which previously raised auto prices and contributed to overall inflation. This initiative reflects an effort to strengthen domestic chip production and stabilize supply chains that have been affected due to global disruptions.
President Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 100% tariff on computer chips, which could significantly increase the costs of electronics, autos, and household appliances.
The tariff targets imported computer chips while U.S. manufacturers will be exempt from the import tax, aiming to boost domestic production amid ongoing supply chain issues.
The ongoing chip shortage during the COVID-19 pandemic has already contributed to rising prices for automobiles and overall inflation levels in the economy.
This move comes as part of broader efforts to address supply chain vulnerabilities exposed during the pandemic, reinforcing the importance of American-made technology.
