The Trump administration is preparing to announce tariffs on semiconductors and chips, causing potential disruptions for U.S. hardware and AI companies. With the U.S. producing only 10% of global chips despite having over half of global semiconductor companies headquartered there, the implications could be significant. Progress has been made in domestic chip manufacturing since the CHIPs Act was signed, with substantial investments from companies like TSMC and Intel. However, challenges remain, illustrated by Intel's announcement to delay its Ohio facility's construction. The administration is also reconsidering AI chip export restrictions, adding another layer of uncertainty.
President Donald Trump stated that his administration plans to announce tariffs on semiconductors and chips soon, although the details of these tariffs remain unclear.
