President Donald Trump has vowed to impose tariffs on semiconductors, oil, and gas imports if he returns to office. The proposed tariffs, ranging from 20% to 30%, are part of Trump’s “America First” trade policy aimed at ensuring energy independence and technological sovereignty.
The announcement has sparked concern among industry experts, who warn that the tariffs could lead to higher prices for consumers and disrupt global supply chains. The semiconductor industry, in particular, has expressed concern, as the U.S. relies heavily on imports for critical components.
A Trump spokesperson stated, “These tariffs are necessary to protect American industries and ensure our energy and technological independence.”
