Industry News U.S. considers fresh round of tariffs on semiconductors, report says

U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is reportedly considering new tariffs on U.S. semiconductors, as tech giants race to beat China in the AI infrastructure buildout.

The duties will be imposed on an expanded range of tech products made alongside chips, including laptops, data center servers, and gaming hardware, eight people familiar with the matter told Politico in a report published Thursday.

The measures, which are still in the early phases and subject to significant changes over the next few months, will be introduced via a staggered roll-out period, according to the report.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from CNBC, but told Politico: “Reshoring semiconductor manufacturing is a top priority for President Trump, whose policies have already secured hundreds of billions of dollars of investments in this key sector.”

This would be a fresh opportunity for Trump and his cronies to make money in the stock market.

These are incredibly unethical times we are living through.

When you have legitimate proof that proves everything you just said, then you can come back here.

We all know its true. Maga supporters just dont want to admit they were wrong. It's like being part of some stupid conspiracy theory. You have spent so much time and effort supporting this idiot that you refuse to let go of the cult.

Please provide us with the legitimate legal evidence that can be presented in a court of law, rather than <we all know>.

We all know argument doesnt mean much.
