U.S. Media: U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated that the Trump administration is developing a new tariff plan targeting the semiconductor industry. The plan has already been made known to major chip manufacturers, and the government aims to use tariff policies to encourage companies to expand domestic production in the United States.
Lutnick said future policies will take a "targeted" approach: companies that commit to manufacturing products in the U.S. could avoid paying related tariffs; those that do not invest in U.S. production may face additional costs to enter the American market.
This move reflects the Trump administration's strategy of leveraging trade tools to bring semiconductor supply chains back to the United States and strengthen the domestic chip industry, while also potentially increasing operational pressures and trade uncertainties for global chip companies.
