US Tariffs on Electronics: 🎮

US tariffs on electronics have seen significant fluctuations in recent days. Initially, President 💺Trump imposed hefty tariffs, reaching up to 145% on certain imports from China, raising concerns about price increases for consumers.

However, the Trump administration later issued exemptions for some popular electronic products such as smartphones and laptops from these 'reciprocal' tariffs. The aim was to protect consumers from substantial price hikes.

But this exemption may be temporary. US Secretary of Commerce Howard stated that these electronic products would be subject to new separate tariffs targeting semiconductors (electronic chips) within a month or two. He confirmed that the administration would impose a tariff model to encourage companies to reshore semiconductor and pharmaceutical manufacturing in the United States.

Currently, some electronics are subject to the basic tariff of 10% on most countries, in addition to an extra 20% tariff on Chinese imports related to fentanyl.
