US President Donald Trump announced a new 10% basic tariff for all imports into the US, withdrawing on April 5. It also stores “reciprocal” doses on approximately 60 countries that large contributors to the US business deficit – which is a significantly step. It belongs to:
- 46% of Vietnam goods.
- 32% tariff on goods from Taipei and Tai -wan.
- 26% tariff on goods from India.
- 25% tariff on goods from South Korea.
- 24% tariff on goods from Japan.
- 20% tariff on EU goods
China is facing 34% reciprocal tariff, except for 20% of the tariff. This percentage that we calculated to create a returned is equal to the trading deficit with each country and then in half. The reciprocal tariffs come to 9 April.
Trump says that business deficits that the US spend more on imports of these nations than they earn through exports-the result of higher foreign rates, non-tariff barriers and economic policies abroad that reduce wages and reduce domestic consumption. The tariffs were also applied to Earth with a low RES tariff with a high business surplus with the US as in the UK and Australia.
The President managed to give them without approval of the congress, declare the national emergency situation and claim that the persistent business imbalance will undergo national security by weakening the American production and exhibition chains to foreign dependence.

Separately Trump canceled the tariff of exceptions for Chinese imports worth $ 800 or less and interest to expand this policy to other Coustries with comparable exceptions. Canada and Mexico will not face higher rates than they were provided in February, and the goods in accordance with the United States – Mexico City Agrement (USMCA), including cars from Canada and Mexico, remain exempted.
According to The Guardian, the United Kingdom reportedly offered large US technology company discounts on digital services in exchange for relief from new business barriers. Meanwhile, the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said he was “ready to respond” with countermeasures and that “holding many cards, from trade to technology to the size of our market” through the Associated Press.
How do these tariffs affect you?
While these tariffs were Bishht to restore economic justice, increase production and create more jobs in the US, they are expected to run the price into technological products. According to CNBC, after the announcement of Trump 1 April, NVIDIA shares fell by 5%, while Apple and Amazon dropped by 6%. This is due to the fact that their operating costs will be disturbed and the supply chains relying on Heavay for overseas production and imports.
US Chipmaker NVIDIA should be somewhat protected from impact due to Trump’s exception on semiconductor and saving it from 32% of the tariff on chips produced on Tai -Wanan TSMC. However, it remains unclear that the exception of the semiconductor will also cover 10% of the basic tariff on all imports.
Apple products, mostly produced in China, India and Vietnam, are likely to become more expensive because the company hand over increased import costs for US consumers. Amazon can do the same as the high proportion of goods on its market comes from Chinese retailers. A giant electronic trade will affect especially by removing the tax exemption to the product below $ 800.
US recession on China and Tai -Wan for approximately 80% of its foundry capacity for chips 20 to 45nm and about 70% for 50 to 180 nm chips. Technical companies can try to move sources to mutual countries without tariffs, but many of them will hand over additional costs to consumers.
The first tariffs were set in February
These new tariffs come after stored in February – 25% on all imports from Canada and Mexico except energy sources and minerals, 20% of Chinese goods and 25% on European Union technical components such as semiconductors. With 80% of the US foundry for key semiconductor sizes currently connected to China and Tai -Wan, they predicted curly experts throughout the technological sector, which influenced Everhythithing from smartphones and cloud services after AI infrastructure.
At that time, Gil Luria, head of technological research in Davidson, told Bloomberg that because Trump implemented tariffs on EU goods, there is a “habit” to modify the main American society like Apple, Google and Meta.

Data Centers and Infrastructure AI face higher costs
It is assumed that extended aluminum and steel tariffs from February will be a stip to a data center because these matters are essential for servers, cooling and other infrastructure racks, construction and equipment.
Further expenditures and potential disruptions of the supplier chain can be re -established in cloud storage prices from companies such as AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure, as well as SaaS and AI, which use extensive data processing. It could also delay plans for the construction of new data centers that have allocated companies to satisfy the growing demand for AI.
However, the intention is to reduce dependence on foreign opponents. Although this may result in higher consumers’ prices in the short term, this could also lead investment in the domestic industry and increase the durability of the supply chain.

Technical companies increase American production
Even before tariffs, many companies announced plans for the construction of new facilities in the US, which is a trend that is likely to continue. In March, TSMC has committed to expanding its expenses for building data centers in the US to $ 160 billion, which is considered “large one -off direct investment in US history”.
In February, Apple announced that it will spend $ 500 billion in the next four years on UX production and research. In January, the Stargate project, which saw companies including SoftBank, Openai and Oracle, started to donate $ 500 billion generative AI infrastructure in the US, including data centers.
At a press conference for the TSMC Trump investment, he added that there are still “many (more companies) they want to announce” state construction projects. Such companies could absorb the business of foreign competitors in the chip, cloud and other hardware markets.
