Trump’s 100% Chip Tariff Could Change Tech Forever

WooGlobe

Semiconductors are the heart of modern technology — powering everything from smartphones and laptops to cars and medical devices. But Donald Trump’s plan to slap 100% tariffs on imported chips could send shockwaves through the global tech industry. With Taiwan’s TSMC and South Korea’s Samsung at the center of production, this move could raise prices, cause delays, and push companies to build factories in the US. Here’s what’s at stake in the growing chip war. WooGlobe Ref : WGA168557 For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com

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.
