Washington, D.C. – Former President Donald Trump has confirmed that his proposed 20% tariff on electronics imports will apply across the board, without exemptions for specific sectors or companies.
Speaking at a press event on Monday, Trump emphasized his commitment to reshaping U.S. trade policies by reducing reliance on foreign electronics manufacturers. “No exceptions. American companies need to start building here,” Trump said, doubling down on his vision of boosting domestic production.
This move has sparked concerns among technology firms and retailers, many of whom rely on imported components and finished products. Industry analysts warn that maintaining a 20% flat tariff may lead to higher consumer prices and potential disruption of supply chains.
Despite backlash, Trump remains firm. “We’ve done it before, we’ll do it again — and better,” he stated, referencing similar protectionist measures from his previous administration.
The electronics industry is now bracing for potential changes in sourcing strategies and price adjustments ahead of the possible return of Trump’s trade agenda in the upcoming election cycle.
