Trump Imposes 25% Tariff on Advanced Chips to Secure U.S. Tech Supply

President Trump signed a Section 232 proclamation to address national-security risks from semiconductor imports, directing negotiations for new or continuing agreements and imposing a 25% tariff on certain advanced computing chips (e.g., NVIDIA H200, AMD MI325X) with carveouts for components supporting domestic supply-chain buildout; broader tariffs and an offset program may follow to bolster U.S. manufacturing.
