As reported by BlockBeats, the U.S. government has discreetly amended its tariff policy, now excluding key electronic goods—such as smartphones, laptops, and microchips—from reciprocal tariffs.
Robert Gulotti, a political science professor at the University of Chicago, noted that this policy shift reflects growing pressure from the ripple effects of previous tariffs, which have now reached a tipping point for U.S. leadership.
Economist Jared Bernstein interpreted the exemption as a sign that the Trump administration is beginning to acknowledge the tangible economic consequences of its tariff strategy. He warned that if these effects spill over into the bond market, it could significantly elevate the risk of a systemic collapse—potentially triggering a global financial crisis.
