Trump Threatens 100% Tariff on Semiconductors Not Built in the US

Semiconductors are tiny chips that power almost everything from smartphones to cars. Modern life would stop without them. Right now, most of these chips are made outside the U.S., especially in places like Taiwan and South Korea. Recently, Donald Trump sparked attention with his latest announcement. He would place a 100% tariff on all semiconductors not made in the U.S. That means any chip built outside the country would become twice as expensive when imported.
