White House reportedly weighs broader tariffs on chip-dependent electronics
Image: Primary The White House is reportedly considering an expanded semiconductor tariff regime that could cover chip-dependent products including laptops, servers and gaming hardware, according to Politico reporting summarized by Blockonomi.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick reportedly supports linking tariff exemptions to manufacturers' commitments to invest in U.S. chip fabrication. Officials are also considering a gradual rollout, but have not finalized duty rates, quotas or other implementation details. Technology trade groups warned that new duties or the removal of earlier exemptions could impede data-center construction as companies build AI infrastructure.
