President Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 100% tariff on imported semiconductors and computer chips entering the United States. However, the tariff will exempt companies that manufacture or have committed to manufacturing these products within the U.S. This policy aims to bolster domestic semiconductor production and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains. Major industry players such as Samsung, SK Hynix, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), Intel, and Nvidia are expected to benefit from the exemption if they maintain or expand U.S.-based manufacturing operations. The announcement has prompted companies worldwide to prepare for the potential impact on trade and supply chain stability. Additionally, TSMC is reportedly planning to build the world’s largest wafer fabrication plant in Arizona with backing of $300 billion, aligning with the U.S. government's push for domestic chip production. The tariff proposal has raised concerns about international trade relations and the broader geopolitical implications of U.S. trade policy toward semiconductor imports.
