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.

Why would he want that? I thought he hated China?

Does he, or does he just say he does? His latest Tariff plan tariffs Canada/Mexico more than China. China gave him all of those trademarks tok.

I don't know if he specifically wants that so much as he doesn't care if it happens.
