US EditionDonald Trump Threatens Tariffs on Chip Imports to Force Firms Into US Production: ‘Not that High, but Substantial!’
President Trump aims to boost U.S. semiconductor manufacturing by imposing tariffs on imports from companies not investing domestically, with Apple committing $600 billion in U.S. investment.
- On September 4, 2025, President Donald Trump announced impending tariffs on semiconductor imports during a White House dinner with major technology CEOs in Washington, DC.
- Trump announced that tariffs will be imposed on semiconductor imports from firms that do not establish manufacturing operations in the U.S., while those with current or planned domestic factories, such as Apple, will be exempt.
- Tech leaders such as Apple’s Tim Cook and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg attended the event, where discussions also included responsible AI growth and education, highlighted by Melania Trump.
- Trump referred to a substantial tariff rate, possibly around 100%, that is 'not that high' and will apply 'very shortly,' while his administration seeks Supreme Court support to preserve tariffs.
- The tariffs reflect Trump’s ongoing strategy to pressure foreign firms to invest in U.S. manufacturing, amid legal challenges and investments by firms like TSMC and Samsung in American plants.
