  • The tariffs would ensnare cutting-edge smartphone and PC-related chips for Apple, AMD and Nvidia if enacted. But Trump is betting his plan will bring more chip production to the US.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's proposal to impose tariffs on semiconductor chips manufactured in Taiwan, specifically targeting Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the world's largest contract chipmaker. Trump's plan aims to encourage the relocation of semiconductor production back to the United States, citing national security concerns and economic benefits. This move would potentially disrupt global supply chains, increase costs for tech companies, and could lead to retaliatory measures from Taiwan and other affected countries. The proposal reflects Trump's broader strategy of using tariffs to bolster domestic manufacturing and reduce reliance on foreign production, particularly in critical technology sectors. However, it also raises concerns about potential trade wars and the impact on international relations.
