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.
Just when you thought he couldn’t get any dumber. Advanced microchips are one of the highest in demand commodities in the world. TSMC will have no problem selling them to the rest of the world outside of the U.S.
Actually, they already signed up to teach us how to make them, and their plants in the US are already being built. This was Biden idea, Trump is just taking credit for it.
