Recently, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer announced that the Trump administration is still in the process of assessing a proposal to impose tariffs on imported semiconductors. The underlying goal is to spur growth in the domestic chip manufacturing sector. However, at present, there are no immediate plans to roll out these new tariffs. Greer highlighted that the United States accounts for roughly a quarter of global semiconductor consumption, yet it can only meet about 10% of its own demand through domestic production. This heavy reliance on foreign supply chains has emerged as a substantial security risk. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to ensure that the introduction of tariffs is timed correctly and applied to the right degree. Moreover, Micron Technology has secured government subsidies and has commenced the production of cutting-edge memory chips within the US.
