#USElectronicsTariffs
U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that there is no truth to the rumors about exempting certain electronic devices from tariffs, emphasizing in a post on the "Truth Social" platform that these products are still subject to a 20% tariff, referred to as the "fentanyl tax".
Trump explained that these tariffs are part of efforts aimed at increasing pressure on China, Canada, and Mexico, as part of efforts to stop the flow of narcotics into the United States.
His statement comes after the U.S. administration recently announced tariff exemptions that included smartphones, computers, and some other electronics. According to Customs and Border Protection, these exemptions aim to reduce the scope of the imposed tariffs, which are 125% on Chinese imports and 10% on most other countries.
