Trump proposes to impose 100% tariffs on Taiwan chips, impacting the global semiconductor supply chain

US President Trump's tariff measures could have a significant impact on the global semiconductor supply chain. If a 100% tariff is imposed on chips from Taiwan, it will increase costs for companies that rely on Taiwan's chip manufacturing, potentially causing a 59% increase in US chip prices. Trump's idea is that by raising tariffs, Taiwan's semiconductor factories may move to the United States to avoid taxes. However, this move could lead to a cross-border trade war and increase costs for companies.
