CNBC: The United States announces an investigation into the import of chips and electronic products

ChainCatcher news, according to CNBC, the U.S. Department of Commerce is conducting a national security investigation into the import of semiconductor technology and related downstream products. Official documents call for public comments on the investigation, further confirming that the chip and electronics supply chain will not be excluded from President Donald Trump's tariff plan, although Trump stated on Friday that many of these products are not subject to his "reciprocal tariffs."As part of the investigation, the U.S. Department of Commerce will examine the "feasibility of increasing domestic semiconductor capacity" to reduce reliance on imports, as well as whether additional trade measures, including tariffs, are "necessary to protect national security." The investigation covers a wide range of items, including chip components like silicon wafers, chip manufacturing equipment, and "downstream products containing semiconductors." Semiconductors play a role in nearly all types of modern electronic products, so this investigation has significant implications for Trump's global trade war aimed at boosting U.S. manufacturing.Despite granting exemptions for a range of electronic products, Trump and some of his officials indicated over the weekend that this exemption is only temporary and is part of a separate tariff plan for the industry.
