Trump announced his intention to impose duties of 100% on imports of chips and semiconductors

The United States will impose duties of 100% on imported chips and semiconductors. This was announced on August 6 by the American leader Donald Trump.

"We will set a tariff of about 100% on microchips and semiconductors, but if you are building in the United States of America, there will be no duty — even if you have not yet started mass production, have not created a large number of jobs and so on," he said.

According to Trump, many companies are currently leaving their former locations and moving production to the United States.
