The president of the United States, Donald Trump, realized Sunday in the last message of his administration that the exclusion of smartphones and computers of their reciprocal tariffs on China will be short -lived, promising a commercial investigation of national security on the semiconductor sector.
These electronic products “are moving to a” cube “different from the tariff,” Trump said in a publication on social networks. “We are looking at semiconductors and the entire electronic supply chain in the next national security rates research.”
The White House had announced the exclusions of reciprocal tariffs on Friday.
Trump’s Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, said previously on Sunday that China’s critical technology products would face new separate tasks along with semiconductors in the next two months.
The exclusions announced on Friday were seen as a great rest for technology companies such as Apple and Dell Technologies that depend on China imports.
Last week, Trump’s return and Forte caused the wildest changes on Wall Street from the 2020 Pandemic Covid. The Benchmark Standard & Poor’s 500 index has decreased more than 10% from Trump Tok’s office on January 20.
Lutnick said Trump and acts “a special type of focus rate” on smartphones, computers and other electronic products in a month or two, with sectoral rates along the semiconductors and pharmaceutical products. The new tasks would remain outside the so -called reciprocal tariffs of Trump, under which Chinese import taxes rose to 125% last week, he said.
“He is saying that they are exempt from reciprocal tariffs, but they are included in semiconductor rates, which are reaching a probabilities of one or two months,” Lutnick said in an interview about “This the United of ABC is the encumbrances.” These are things that are national security, which must be done in the United States. “
Beijing increased its own tariffs on US imports to 125% on Friday in response. On Sunday, before Lutnick’s comments, China said it was evaluating the impact of the exclusions of the technological products implemented on Friday night.
“The bell on the neck of a tiger can only be unleashed by the person who tied it,” said the Ministry of Commerce of China.
Bill Ackman billionaire investor, who supported Trump’s career for president but criticized the rates, on Sunday he asked him to stop the broad and pronounced reciprocal tariffs in China for three months, as Trump did last week.
If Trump stopped Chinese tariffs for 90 days and cut them to 10% temporarily, “he would like the same goal by making US companies relocate their supply chains of China without interruption and risk,” Ackman wrote in X.
‘Changes every day’
Sven Henrich, founder and market strategist of NorthMantrader, was very critical of how the problem of the rate was handled on Sunday. “Verification of feelings: the biggest rally of the year would come the day Lutnick is fired,” Henrich wrote in X. “I suggest that the administration discovers who controls the message, whatever it is, since each sticky or investment changes.
American senator Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat, criticized the latest review of the Trump Rate Plan, that economists have warned that they could make economic growth and fuel inflation.
“There is no tariff policy, only chaos and corruption,” Warren said in “This Week” of ABC, speaking before Trump’s last publication on social networks.
In a notice to the loaders on Friday night, the US Customs and Border Protection Agency published a list of tariff codes excluded from import taxes. It had 20 categories of products, including computers, laptops, disc units, semiconductor devices, memory chips and flat screens.
In an interview about NBC’s “Meet The Press”, the White House Commercial Advisor, Peter Navarro, said that the United States has opened an invitation to China to negotiate, but criticized China’s connection with the lethal fentanyl supply chain and did not include it in a list of seven entities: the United Kingdom, the European Union, India, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia and did not Kalks, the Kinkdom, the European Union, India, Japan, Korea, Indonesia and Israel, which said the administration was in Kinks, in Kalkdom, the Kinks, India, India, Japan, Korea, Indonesia and Israel, which said the administration was in Kinks.
Trade representative Jamieson Greer said that in “Face the Nation” of CBS that it was not yet plans to speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping in tariffs, China’s battery or creating commercial friction responding with levies of their. But expressed hope for some non -Chinese agreements.
“My goal is to obtain significant offers before 90 days, and I think we will be there with several countries in the coming weeks,” Greer said.
Ray Dalio, the multimillionaire founder of the world’s largest coverage fund, told NBC “Meet The Press” that he was worried that the United States slide into the recession, or worse, as a result of tariffs.
“At this time we are at a decision -making point and very close to a recession,” Dalio said Sunday. “And I worry something worse than a recession if this is not handled well.”
