Trump’s tariff threat puts semiconductors on display

President Trump’s message to global chipmakers is: Manufacture in the United States, and you won’t be slapped with a hefty tariff. 

“We’ll be putting a tariff on approximately 100% on chips and semiconductors. But if you’re building in the United States of America, there’s no charge, even though you’re building, and you’re not producing yet in terms of the big numbers of jobs and all of the things that you’re building. If you’re building, there will be no charge”, Trump said Wednesday after securing another $100 billion investment from Apple CEO Tim Cook. 

Apple’s latest investment earmarked for the U.S. brings the tech giant’s total commitment to $600 billion.

Intel told Reuters that the company and its chief executive are “deeply committed to the national security of the United States and the integrity of our role in the U.S. defense ecosystem.”

Even so, the Nasdaq Composite posted its 17th record close of 2025, making Invesco’s QQQ Trust Series ETF one of the most actively traded ETFs on Thursday.
