- Donald Trump announced a new 100 percent tariff on all imported chips and semiconductors, a measure intended to force companies to bring silicon manufacturing back to the United States.
- However, the import tax will not apply to companies building or that have made a commitment to build in the United States, a condition Apple has already met.
- It's unclear who this charge would impact since chipmakers like TSMC have US investments, and the administration has previously threatened similar taxes on chips without enacting them.
