President Trump is considering imposing tariffs as high as 100% on imported chips, which could severely impact the AI sector and the stock market. While the intention is to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing, the reality is that the U.S. lacks the capacity to quickly ramp up production. This could lead to increased costs for AI infrastructure projects and hinder the growth of the AI industry.
The proposed tariffs could result in a significant tax on chips, ultimately passed on to consumers and stifling funding for large AI projects. Companies like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are planning substantial increases in their capital expenditures for AI, but tariffs would complicate these financial strategies. If implemented, these tariffs could trigger a stock market crash, prompting a potential reversal from the administration.
