Wait 5 sec.

The Trump administration is considering new tariffs on foreign electronic devices, based on their chip content, to compel manufacturing shifts to the U.S. This plan, potentially imposing a 25% tariff on chip-related content, aims to bolster national security but could significantly raise consumer prices across various goods, exacerbating inflation concerns. Exemptions for U.S. investment are also being explored.
