Trump To Tariff Chips Made In Taiwan, Targeting TSMC

President Trump plans to impose tariffs of up to 100% on chips produced in Taiwan, targeting companies like TSMC, which supplies Apple, Nvidia, and AMD. The tariffs aim to encourage more chip production in the US, with Trump criticizing the CHIPS and Science Act for providing funds to companies that already have significant resources. The policy may cause price hikes for various computer products, as it takes years to build chip factories. TSMC-made chips are typically not exported directly to the US, but rather sent to other countries for assembly into consumer electronics. The implementation of such tariffs will depend on US trade officials.
