This statement clearly positions the tariff not just as a trade barrier, but as a bargaining chip: build in America or pay the price. The move contrasts with the Biden administration's strategy, which relied more on subsidies and incentives. Trump's method — using tariffs as a stick — underlines the bipartisan consensus in Washington that semiconductors are now a matter of national security, not just ec...
