Trump Threatens 100% Tariffs on Computer Chips for Non-U.S. Manufacturers

President Donald Trump announced a plan to impose a 100% tariff on computer chips unless companies commit to building manufacturing facilities in the US, aiming to boost domestic production amid rising global chip demand. The move follows significant investments from tech giants like Apple, Nvidia, and TSMC in US manufacturing, and marks a shift from Biden-era policies that focused on funding and incentives. The tariffs could lead to higher prices for products dependent on chips and impact the tech industry, but Wall Street responded positively to the news.
