Trump announces 100% tariff on computer chips. Here's what it could mean for your wallet.


President Donald Trump plans to launch a 100% tariff on non-U.S. computer chips. Experts say the move could hurt consumers.

President Donald Trump plans to impose a 100% tariff on imported computer chips, a move experts warn could compel companies to pull back on production or hike prices.
