President Donald Trump says he's imposing a 100% tariff on computer chips— a move that will likely raise the cost of electronics, autos, household appliances and other essential goods.
I think they assume that a USA device would have tariff only on the imported chips inside, whereas a device from another country would have its chips tariffed, as well as an additional tariff on the full device when imported.
I don’t know if this is the case or not because Trump is unclear and as others have pointed out this would be trivial to evade if components aren’t tariffed separately.
No matter what those in the USA would be paying more for electronics.
This was a few days ago but wasn’t it the case that imported chips to be used in American products would be tariffed at the time of import? Why wouldn’t that be the case?
WTF are you talking about? Did you not go to elementary school?
I feel like there must be a miscommunication/misunderstanding here.
No, they’re trolling. There’s zero chance this was explained this many times and they’re still fighting like they don’t understand what is being said

“Trolling” = discussing facts? You are the one who doesn’t understand. It’s very simple: US tariffs do not apply to US products.

Agreed.
