Trump declares the tariffs “approximately 100 %” on chips and semi -conductors

Trump said at the Oval Office while they were meeting apple CEO Tim Cook. “But if you are building in the United States of America, there is no fee.”

The advertisement came after more than three months Trump is temporarily exempt Most electronic devices are the most famous definitions in its management.

The Republican President said that companies that make computer chips in the United States will transfer the import tax. during Covid-19 PandeMicThe lack of computer chips increased from the price of cars and contributed to the high inflation.

Investors seem to explain potential tariff exemptions as positive for Apple companies and other major technology companies that have made huge financial obligations to manufacture more chips and other components in the United States.

Big Tech has already made collective obligations to invest about $ 1.5 trillion in the United States since Trump returned to the White House in January. This number includes a number of $ 600 billion from Apple after the iPhone maker reinforced by processing Other $ 100 billion To the previous commitment that took place in February.

The question now is whether the medium deal between Cook and Trump will be sufficient to isolate millions of iPhone devices that were made in China and India from the definitions that the administration has already imposed and reduces pressure on the company to raise prices on new models expected to be revealed next month.

Wall Street certainly believes. After the Apple share price gained 5 % in regular trading sessions on Wednesday, the shares increased by another 3 % in the stretch trading after Trump announced that some technology companies will not be hit with the latest tariffs while Cook stopped next to him.

Artificial intelligence chips maker NafidiaThe recently pledged to great commitments to the United States, has increased slightly in the extended trading to add it to a $ 1 trillion dollar profit in the market value made by the Silicon Valley since the start of the Trump administration.

Computer chip pioneer price IntelThat fell in difficult times, also climbed to extended trading.

The inquiries sent to NVIDIA and Intel chips. The main trade group in the chips industry, which is the Association of Semiconductor Industry, refused to comment on the latest Trump tariff.

The demand for computer chips was climbing all over the world, with sales increased by 19.6 % at the end of the year in June, according to the Commercial Statistics Organization of the semiconductors.

Trump’s tariff threats determine a large break from current plans to revive computer chips in the United States that were placed while managing President Joe Biden.

Since his assumption of Biden, Trump has spread the customs tariff to stimulate more local production. Basically, the president is betting that the threat of high chips costs will force most companies to open factories locally, despite the risks that can pressure companies’ profits and pay prices for mobile phones, televisions and refrigerators.

In contrast, the two parties Chips and Science Law This Biden presented the signing of the law in 2022 more than $ 50 billion to support the new computer chips factories, and train and train workers for this industry. The financing support mix, tax credit and other financial incentives were supposed to aim to invest in private investment, a strategy that Trump opposes.
