On September 4, local time, US President Trump announced that the US government will levy tariffs on imported products from semiconductor companies that have not transferred production to the US. He stressed that if an enterprise invests in the US or has plans to build a factory, it can be exempted from customs duties. Trump said the tariff would be “quite impressive, but not too high,” and named Apple CEO Cook as “good,” because Apple has promised to invest 600 billion US dollars in the US over the next four years. Earlier, TSMC, Samsung, and SK Hynix all announced the construction of factories in the US. Trump frequently uses tariffs to disrupt the global market and increase economic and trade uncertainty. Trump announced on August 6 that the US will levy 100% tariffs on imported semiconductor products. This tax rate will apply to “all chips and semiconductors entering the US,” but not to companies that have promised or initiated procedures to manufacture related products in the US. Currently, its tariff policy has been challenged by law, and the government is requesting the Supreme Court to intervene in this regard.
