Trump announces 25% tariff on imported chips not used for US AI

US President Trump has stated that after the tariff investigation is completed, chips imported into the United States but not used in the domestic artificial intelligence industry will be subject to a 25% tariff. These tariffs apply to chips used for products such as data center servers after transit in the United States and ultimately exported to other countries. Trump said he expects to earn billions of dollars in revenue through this policy. Last year, Trump mentioned that companies investing more in the United States could be exempt from chip tariffs, but this time he did not mention any related exemptions.
