Trump exempts electronics, phones, computers from reciprocal tariffs
[NYPOST] Smartphones, computers and other electronics will be exempt from President Trump's sweeping reciprocal tariffs, the administration announced.
In a break for consumers, the United States will not collect the new duties on about 20 products listed in guidance issued by Customs and Border Protection, the federal agency tasked with collecting tariff revenues.
This list, published late Friday night, also includes routers and semiconductor chips.
Since we no longer produce such things locally and we rely on them so heavily. Expect to see production re-start here too, and in the meantime reliance switch to Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and other "ASEAN Tigers."
