US President Donald Trump announced on Monday, 27, during a conference in Miami that he intends to apply tariffs to chips and semiconductors that are imported into the country.
Trump did not provide details on how this measure will be implemented, but according to Bloomberg, the tariffs will be at a rate “much higher” than 2.5% and that they will be implemented “in the near future.”
As TechCrunch notes, this measure could affect the prices of computers and tablets, as well as cell phones and game consoles. On the other hand, Trump's idea is to build factories so that chips and electronic components can be produced in the USA.
