- Secretary of Trade Howard Lutno He said that the e -devices’ tariffs are only temporary, and new tariffs for technological devices will take effect over the next month -two.
Secretary of Trade Howard Lutnit said that the exclusion of President Donald Trump’s trade on electronic devices is only temporary.
Friday Customs and US Border Protection Published message In the so-called Trump mutual tariffs, which include exceptions to smartphones, computers, semiconductors, flat panel displays, flash drives, memory cards, solid-state storage disks and other key technological components.
This offered an appeal from Trump’s Chinese tariffs, which were reached up to 125% at the top of previously imposed by 20%. He also followed his 90-day pause on most mutual duties announced on Wednesday.
“So, what he does (Trump), he says they are exempted from mutual tariffs, but they are included in the semiconductor tariffs that come, probably a month – two. So they are quickly,” Lutno said News ABC Sunday.
In addition to tariffs for countries, Trump has imposed duties on steel, aluminum and car, warning that tariffs for chips and pharmaceuticals are also on the way. It seems that exemption from new tariffs has paid the way, although they are expected to be lower than 145% of the total Chinese import rate.
While Lutnik refers to semiconduct duties that come in the near future, he also notes that other technology imports will be included in the upcoming tariffs that go beyond semiconductors, trying to increase home production.
“All these products will be in semiconductors, and they will have a special tariff to make sure that these products will be remodeled,” Lutnit said. “We need to have semiconductors, we need to have chips, and we need to have flat panels – we need to do these things in America.”
“We can’t rely on South -Eastern Asia for all the things that work for us.”
Although liberation is just a temporary step according to the slut, a re -exemplary offers companies like Apple What is collected and imported devices from China a little breathing room. Since Trump’s time, Trump’s Garden Rose has fallen more than 11%.
“So, this is not like a constant release. It just clarifies that they cannot be agreed from the countries,” Lutnik said.
Its explanation for release occurs after the Chinese Trade Ministry stated that they were “a small step on the US to correct their unilateral” mutual tariffs “.
It also says that the US should “reach a great step to completely cancel the illegal actions and return to the correct way to resolve differences through an equal dialogue based on mutual respect.”
On Friday, China increased its US import tariffs to 125%, but added that it does not plan additional revenge.
