The Trump administration has announced temporary tariff exemptions for certain electronics and pharmaceuticals, but Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick warned that these exemptions would not be permanent. Lutnick stressed the need for the US to produce semiconductors and other critical components domestically rather than relying on Southeast Asia. The exemptions, which include smartphones and laptops, aim to keep consumer electronics prices low and benefit American tech companies like Apple. The exemptions also apply to Chinese imports facing high tariffs and cover a range of electronic devices and components. President Trump is expected to provide more details on the exemptions on Monday, with his administration making numerous changes to its tariff policies in recent times.
