[Foreign Media: Trump Plans to Exempt Tech Giants from Chip Tariffs] Jinshi Data, February 10—According to the Financial Times, Trump intends to exempt companies like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft from upcoming tariffs on chips, as these companies are competing to build data centers that power the growth of artificial intelligence. Sources revealed that the U.S. Department of Commerce plans to provide tariff exemptions for U.S. hyperscale data center operators, which will be tied to TSMC's investment commitments. This exemption plan highlights President Trump's determination to impose tariffs on chips and incentivize domestic chip manufacturing, while also offering some relief to companies heavily reliant on imported semiconductors that drive the rapid development of AI in the U.S. A government official familiar with the plans cautiously stated that these plans are still evolving and have yet to be signed by the President.
