00:00Semiconductors, tiny chips, huge power.
00:03They're inside your phone, your laptop, even your car.
00:06And now they're at the center of a global tech storm.
00:09President Trump says he wants a 100% tariff on foreign-made chips.
00:14His message? Make them in America or pay up.
00:17The problem? Most chips come from Asia.
00:20Taiwan's TSMC alone makes over half of the world's supply,
00:23powering giants like Apple and Microsoft.
00:26South Korea's Samsung and SK Hynix lead in memory chips.
00:30The U.S. already has companies like Intel and Texas Instruments,
00:34but it wants more advanced chip plants on home soil.
00:37Trump says firms investing in the U.S., like Apple, Samsung, and TSMC, can dodge the tariffs.
00:44Critics warn this could raise prices for electronics and cause delays.
00:48Supporters say it's about jobs, tech leadership, and national security.
00:51One thing's clear, these tiny chips are a big deal.
00:55And the fight over them? Just heating up.
