Former President Donald Trump has initiated a national security investigation into America’s reliance on foreign-made semiconductors. Citing vulnerabilities in the electronics supply chain, particularly with imports from Asia, the administration is preparing to impose tariffs of up to 25% on key tech products including smartphones, laptops, medical devices, and telecom equipment.

Although the government recently granted short-term tariff exemptions for some electronics, Trump has made it clear these will be temporary. The strategy aims to push companies to manufacture chips domestically.

Critics warn the plan could raise consumer prices, disrupt supply chains, and risk economic instability. China has responded with aggressive counter-tariffs, escalating trade tensions. While the U.S. explores alliances with partners like Japan and the EU, dialogue with China remains off the table.
