Smartphones, computers, flat panel TV screens, memory chips, semiconductor -based storage devices and other electronic are among the elements excluded from the reciprocal tariffs of the Trump administration, according to a customs newsletter and border protection of the United States published on Friday night.
The news suggested a possible relief for technological companies concerned with Trump’s 145% tariffs in all China’s assets. But the president and his economic advisors emphasized during the weekend that any postponement would be temporary, with specific tariffs that will be imposed from goods placed under a new national security classification.

Trump published in Truth Social on Sunday saying that “there was no ‘exemption’ of tariffs announced on Friday” and that semiconductor tariffs “will simply move to a ‘cube’ of different rates’.”
“No one is ‘out of the hook’ for unfair trade balances and non -monetary tariff barriers, which other countries have used against us, especially China, which, with much, treats us the worst!” Trump wrote.
“We are taking a look at the semiconductors and the entire electronics supply chain in the next national security rates investigations,” Trump added.
Trump did not go back on Saturday night when a journalist requested details about the “exemptions.”
“I will give you that answer on Monday. We will be very specific on Monday,” Trump said. “We are taking a lot of money. As a country, we are taking a lot of money.”
