US President Donald Trumpimported Chips, semiconductors and drugs “soon” customs taxes announced. Speaking at a conference he attended, Trump described the Biden administration’s $ 52 billion CHIPS law incentives as “ridiculous”. Trump suggested that chip manufacturers would prefer to avoid higher taxes instead of direct incentives to invest in the United States.

Either high tax or investment

“We don’t want to give them billions of dollars like this ridiculous program that Biden owns” Trump says, producers New facilities to avoid tax claimed that they would build. However, Trump has not detailed the 30 billion dollars of private sector investments or 16 new production facilities plan announced so far within the scope of the CHIPS law.

Trump, tax rates to be applied to imported chips and semiconductors “Much larger than 2.5%” stated that it will be: “They already have billions of dollars … They did not need money. They needed an incentive. This incentive will not want to pay 25 %, 50 %and even 100 %tax.” Trump also criticized leading US technology companies such as Apple, AMD, Broadcom, Nvidia and Qualcomm for producing processors for producing Taiwan in TSMC.

This statement reminds Trump’s trade war with China in the first period. TSMC is already establishing production facilities in the US within the scope of the CHIPS law, but these facilities will not have state -of -the -art production processes like Taiwan. In fact, for such a thing, first of all, logistics problems should be solved and the infrastructure should be ready. It will not only solve problems with increasing customs duties and attracting factory investments. Making a facility with advanced technology production usually needs four five -year periods.

Assuming that the Trump administration will bring customs duties to ASIC, CPUs, GPUs and other chip types produced in Taiwan in the coming weeks, this will make PCs, servers and smartphones more expensive for companies and individuals in the USA. . According to CTA’s report, Trump’s customs tariffs suggested, laptop Prices 46 percent, game consoles 40 percent and clever phones It can increase by 26 percent.

Trump, arguing that these customs tariffs will increase production in the USA, “We will build more facilities more than ever before” he said. Trump is also the number one subject of the last days DeepSeek He said he thought positively; “… Finding a faster and cheaper artificial intelligence method, this is a good thing. If it is real and true, nobody knows, but I see it as a positive development. ” Interestingly, while Trump is talking about Deepseek “Instead of spending billions, you’ll spend less and I hope you’ll find the same solution” he said. He also says that $ 500 billion will be spent for artificial intelligence data centers that will spread throughout the country under the leadership of OpenAI and Softbank.
