#USElectronicsTariffs

Main Motives of U.S. Electronics Tariffs:

Protect Domestic Industry:

Tariffs make imported electronics more expensive, helping U.S.-based companies compete.

Counter Trade Imbalances:

If the U.S. imports more than it exports (especially from China), tariffs are used to correct the imbalance.

National Security Concerns:

The U.S. often justifies tariffs on high-tech goods by claiming security risks, especially with products like semiconductors or telecom devices.

Leverage in Trade Negotiations:

Tariffs are used as a bargaining chip to pressure other countries into better trade terms.

Reduce Dependency:

To encourage local manufacturing and reduce dependence on foreign supply chains (especially after COVID disruptions).
