Market Chatter: Trump Administration Weighs Sweeping Semiconductor Tariffs Despite AI Industry Concerns

MT Newswires Live

Aug 27

The Trump administration is considering sweeping new tariffs on semiconductors that could extend to products containing chips, including laptops, gaming consoles and data center servers, Politico reported, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick favors tying tariff relief to companies' investments in US chip manufacturing, according to Politico sources.

The administration is also considering a phase-in period, while tariff rates and other details remain unsettled, the report said.

The White House did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
