You'd expect the opposite. More available stock not being bought in the US would mean lower prices elsewhere.

I, not being in the hellhole country in question, broadly embrace this choice. Please, fashy granpa, refuse to buy any chips not made in the USA. I could use an affordable new GPU soon.

I would only support lower prices in other countries, but companies to tend use situations for broader price increases.

We'll soon find out how this plays out.

I'm not really sure how they'd use a tariff that raises prices in the US and lowers US demand for stock in Taiwan to raise prices in the territories that can still purchase the stock for its base cost.

Manufactured goods that have to go through the US for some reason, maybe, but who the hell would even try to sell that elsewhere in a world where every step through the US border has a 100% tariff?
