#USElectronicsTariffs US President Donald Trump decided to exempt smartphones, computers, and other electronics from his global "reciprocal tariffs" after a tumultuous week in the markets due to his trade war.

This was reported by Politico, as noted by "European Truth".

The directive published by the US Customs and Border Protection exempted this consumer electronics, much of which is produced in China, from Trump's tariff escalation with China and the 10 percent base tariff on all countries.

Equipment used for semiconductor manufacturing will also be exempt from tariffs.

Although this electronics will not be subject to the tariff rates that Trump imposed this week as part of the trade war with China, these goods may still be subject to significant tariffs if they are produced in China.

Senior White House advisor Stephen Miller wrote on social media platform X that these goods still fall under the tariff on China according to the initial announcement of 20%. This is the tariff rate that Trump imposed due to the "crisis of illegal drugs."
