Trump Administration Delays New China Chip Tariffs to 2027

TaiwanPlus News

The Trump Administration has officially delayed new tariffs on Chinese semiconductors until June 2027. While the US Trade Representative labeled China’s efforts to dominate the chip market "unreasonable," the initial rate for these new duties has been set at zero percent. The move follows recent authorizations for Nvidia to sell advanced AI chips to Beijing and comes as both nations prepare for Trump’s high-stakes visit to China in April 2026. The delay mainly affects "mature" chips used in everyday products like automobiles and household appliances.
