More Chaos: Trump Admin Signals New Tariffs on Electronics from China After Pause
Story by Peter Wade
• 7h•
The Trump administration had announced tariffs on products from China only to walk back that decision on Friday, issuing an exemption from reciprocal tariffs for smartphones, computers, semiconductors, and other electronic devices - although other tariffs would still apply.
But on Sunday, the administration had senior White House trade adviser Peter Navarro and Commerce Sec. Howard Lutnick on NBC's
Meet the Press and ABC's
This Week, respectively. Both only added to the confusion around the issue.
Lutnick said that the technology exemption was only put in place temporarily until the administration can write a new policy for those goods.
"Those products are going to be part of the semiconductor sectoral tariffs which are coming," Lutnick told host Jonathan Karl. "So, you're going to see this week there will be a register in the federal registry. There will be a notice put out."
Lutnick added that semiconductors and pharmaceutical imports from China are "going to have a special focus-type of tariff to make sure that those products get reshored," adding that those tariffs "are coming in probably a month or two."
