Reference News Network reported on April 13 that according to the Russian Satellite Communications Agency's report on April 13, citing a CNN report, after the United States announced an exemption from "reciprocal tariffs" for some electronic products, the White House said on April 12 that U.S. President Trump clearly stated that the United States cannot rely on China to produce these key technology products.

White House Press Secretary Leavitt said in a statement: "President Trump has clearly stated that the United States cannot depend on China to produce key technology products such as semiconductors, chips, smartphones, and laptops. This is why the president has received tens of trillions of dollars in investments in the United States from some of the world's largest tech companies like Apple, TSMC, and NVIDIA. Following the president's instructions, these companies are moving their manufacturing operations back to the U.S. as soon as possible."

Previously, a document released by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection showed that the U.S. government would exclude some electronic products from the "reciprocal tariff" scope.

According to a Reuters report, a White House official revealed that Trump will soon order an investigation into the impact of semiconductor imports on U.S. national security. This could lead to the imposition of new tariffs on this industry.

Regarding the issue of U.S. additional tariffs, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated that there is no winner in a tariff war or trade war. The Chinese side does not want to fight, but it is not afraid to do so. If the U.S. side really wants to solve the problem through dialogue and negotiation, it should stop extreme pressure and reckless actions. China never accepts this approach, and any dialogue must be based on equality, respect, and mutual benefit. If the U.S. side insists on fighting a tariff war or trade war, China will definitely see it through to the end.

On April 12, Trump was interviewed while en route to Miami. (Associated Press)
