Trump Secures Critical Mineral Supply Chain, Imposes 25% Tariffs On Chips By Signing Executive Orders

President Trump has taken bold steps to protect American national security and economy by signing two executive actions under Section 232 investigations. The first imposes a strategic 25% tariff on imported semiconductors not used for domestic AI or computing buildout, ensuring the U.S. captures revenue from transshipments to countries like China while the second establishes a robust process to secure international supply chains for critical minerals vital for tech, defense, and manufacturing. These moves strengthen U.S. industry, reduce foreign dependencies, and promote domestic production without broad tariffs yet. A win for American workers and innovation!
