Trump denies exemption of electronic devices from tariffs and emphasizes continued pressure on China

US President Donald Trump firmly denied reports about exempting certain electronic devices from tariffs, reaffirming through a post on the 'Truth Social' platform that these products are still subject to a 20% tariff, which he referred to as 'fentanyl tariffs.'

He explained that these tariffs are part of efforts to pressure China, Canada, and Mexico to stop the flow of narcotics into the United States.

This statement comes days after the US administration announced tariff exemptions that included smartphones, computers, and some other electronics. According to Customs and Border Protection, these exemptions aimed to narrow the scope of the 125% tariffs on China and 10% on most other countries.
