The tariffs would ensnare cutting-edge smartphone and PC-related chips for Apple, AMD and Nvidia if enacted. But Trump is betting his plan will bring more chip production to the US.

Does he plan to start making chips??? Genuinely why would he do this.
The US makes chips. Notably Intel and TSMC have US fabs.
Lol the chips Intel and TSMC make in the US are three generations old and no where near producing the amount needed to even cover the USs needs.
Ahhhhh, so he’s trying to reinvigorate domestic industry.
Yeah, seems to be the carrot and stick approach. Biden provided the carrot a few years ago (subsidies for new US plants) and Trump is providing the stick (tariffs for offshore imports).
