POLITICO, citing eight people, reports the Trump administration is considering a
large new package of semiconductor tariffs. One proposal would greatly broaden
tariff coverage beyond chips to many chip-containing products — including
laptops, game consoles and data-center servers — potentially widening the trade
impact on tech supply chains. Tech firms warn the move could jeopardize US
leadership in AI. Four sources say Commerce Secretary Lutnick favors
conditioning tariff exemptions for foreign firms on investment in US chip
manufacturing to spur domestic capacity.
