According to three knowledgeable sources, the Trump administration is considering imposing tariffs on foreign electronic devices based on the number of chips in each device. This move is aimed at encouraging companies to shift production to the United States. The plan has not been previously reported and is still subject to change. Under the plan, the U.S. Department of Commerce would impose tariffs on imported products equal to a certain percentage of the estimated value of the chips in the product. If the plan is implemented, it would indicate that the Trump administration is attempting to impact a wide range of consumer products from toothbrushes to laptops. (Reuters)
