00:02The Trump administration is weighing a plan that would require tech companies to manufacture as many semiconductors in the U.S. as they import from overseas or face tariffs, that according to the Wall Street Journal.
00:11The proposal aims to cut reliance on foreign chipmakers and boost domestic production, which could complicate global supply chains and create challenges for companies with diverse sourcing networks.
