Comment on Trump says he plans to put a 100% tariff on computer chips, likely pushing up cost of electronics
arcterus@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 weeks agoMy dude, the chips aren't manufactured in the US. If the tariffs don't apply to the chips that are inherently imported from outside the US since basically only TSMC and Samsung make them at this point, then there is no tariff at all. Companies in the US import the chips, then use the imported chips as part of their products. All the companies in the US do is assemble the imported parts (and sometimes not even that).
