President Trump plans to extend tariffs to computer chips made in Taiwan, with potential rates reaching up to 100%. This move targets Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), a critical player in the global semiconductor industry. The implications could affect a wide range of electronics reliant on Taiwanese chips.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
The proposed tariffs on Taiwanese chips could have significant repercussions for the tech industry. As TSMC is a major supplier of semiconductors used in countless devices, higher costs may be passed on to consumers and could stifle innovation due to increased expenses. From a technological advancement perspective, this decision seems counterproductive, potentially hindering the development and affordability of both consumer electronics and enterprise hardware.
