Summary

Trump plans to impose tariffs of up to 100% on semiconductors manufactured in Taiwan, aiming to push U.S. tech companies like Apple, Nvidia, and AMD to produce chips domestically.

The tariffs target Taiwan's TSMC, a key supplier, despite its partial U.S. production in Arizona.

Trump criticized Biden’s CHIPS Act for funding companies like Intel and proposed tariffs as an alternative incentive.

Experts warn the move could raise prices for electronics as most TSMC chips are assembled in Asia before export to the U.S.

Hooray! I was getting worried about gaming GPUs becoming affordable again now that they're winding down the "chip shortage" excuse!

Good thing we can count on Trump to price us out of the few pleasures in life we cling to in order to tolerate the world he's ruining! 😮‍💨🤬

Well since there's no more income tax, we will need the from money somewhere. Taiwan will pay!!! /SSSSSSSSSS but seriously, he said we will now fund our economy with tarriffs, then says we will tarriff to move things here, which would NOT bring in funds. I'm so confused.

There is plenty of taxes still to be paid by the 99%. Trump is keeping his promise to raise our taxes.

Are tarrif chips like some sort of modern day food stamp?

Tim Apple; that’s your cue to send the next million for “inauguration”…

Isn't there a TSMC plant in Arizona and the chips act also bolstered Intel as well?

First of all, who painted a target on this guys foot?

Second of all, who left the gun unsupervised?

The guy doesn't realize that all these companies are funding our EUV technology. If one falls so do the others. Our meaning our part. The whole EUV thing is a total ecosystem that is globally connected. The thing barely works at all according to science and people are working day and night to make it work more reliably. On top of thar, now they have to put up with less profit.

But sure! Chips!

Chip chip chip! C'mon! Chip chip chip!
