> The Trump administration is considering another round of semiconductor tariffs and may expand them beyond chips to products such as laptops, gaming consoles and data-center servers. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick reportedly favors linking foreign companies’ tariff relief to investment in US chipmaking, with a possible phase-in period. US tech companies warn the move could undermine hopes of dominating artificial intelligence, while Nvidia and Apple would bear much of the impact.
