FXNEWSTODAY - US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that the United States will impose a 100% tariff on imported semiconductors unless companies make a formal commitment to build or expand their manufacturing facilities in the US.
This measure aims to reshape the global supply chain in the semiconductor industry by stimulating domestic production. Major companies like Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL)—which has announced additional investments in the United States of more than $100 billion, bringing its total commitments to $500 billion—are among the most prominent potential beneficiaries of the exemptions. Major chipmakers such as TSMC, thanks to its new factory in Arizona, and Samsung and SK Hynix, with existing or planned production projects in the United States, are also expected to benefit.
