Trump and the tariff controversy: Exemptions or confusion?
Donald Trump's recent tariff policy has generated a whirlwind of uncertainty in the tech sector. While the White House confirms exemptions for smartphones and laptops, Trump insists that these products remain subject to a 20% tariff due to fentanyl.
"These products are subject to the existing 20% tariffs for fentanyl, and they are simply being moved to a different tariff 'group'," Trump wrote, adding that upcoming national security investigations will focus on semiconductors and the electronics supply chain in general.$BTC
