Trump Spares Semiconductors in Latest Tariffs, but Risks Mount for Chinese Chipmakers

While U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest salvo in the global trade war stopped short of targeting the critical semiconductor sector, the reprieve may be short-lived for many Chinese chipmakers.

Under a sweeping “reciprocal tariff” plan announced Wednesday, China will be hit with an additional 34% tariff, bringing the total levy on Chinese goods entering the U.S. to 54% starting April 9. Semiconductors, along with copper, pharmaceutical and lumber products were exempted from the new rates — at least for now.
