Trump says he plans 100pct tariff on computer chips
President Donald Trump says that the US will apply a tariff of about 100 percent to the semiconductor chips imported to the country.
Apple, Apple General Manager Tim Cook, while meeting with Oval Office, “determinations and semiconductors will put about 100 percent tariff,” he said.
“But if you are building in the United States, there is no fee.”
The President of the Republic said that companies that make computer chips in the US will get rid of import tax.
During the COVİD-19 pandem, the shortage of computer chips increased the price of cars and contributed to a general increase in inflation.
The questions sent to chip producers Nvidia and Intel were not answered immediately.
According to the World Semi -Semi -Trade Statistics Organization, the demand for computer chips climbed worldwide and sales increased by 19.6 percent throughout the year.
Trump’s tariff threats show that there is a significant break from the plans to revive computer chip production in the United States.
He chooses an approach that supports the famous rod on the carrot to promote more production.
Basically, the President bets that, despite the risk of higher chip costs, corporate profits of tariffs and increasing prices for mobile phones, TVs and refrigerators, most companies will force them to open factories in the United States.
On the other hand, the bilateral law and scientific law signed by President Joe Biden in 2022 by law in 2022 provided more than $ 50 billion (A77 billion dollars) to support new computer chip plants and support train workers for the sector for the sector.
Financing support, a mixture of tax loans and other financial incentives, a private investment, a strategy that Trump opposed the voice.
