Cell phones and PCs will grow in price: do not believe the release of tariffs

Last Friday, April 11, the Donald Trump government stopped its new taxes on electronic products imported into the United States, which indicates a certain relief of commercial wars, which especially intensified with China, an important exporter of technology, from smartphones to laptops.

Nevertheless, this does not mean that these products are not or will not be in the short term associated with specific taxes, which can change the final prices as for the United States, as well as the transfer of the cost of production and distribution for the rest of the world.

Nevertheless, it is clear that the Minister of Trade of the United States Howard Lutnik, who said that these “exceptions” were only a temporary respite, and on Sunday, April 13, said in “this week” ABC chains, that electronic products will be included in accordance with future specific tariffs in the sector, which will probably appear ”within one or two months.”

Moreover, President Donald Trump is preparing to announce new tariffs for imported semiconductors, as soon as this week, which indicates a wider impulse to ensure advanced production in the United States.

According to Reuters, the measure is produced in the middle of the escalation of commercial tension, and soon additional tariffs for smartphones, laptops and other electronic products may follow.

Speaking on board Air Force One, Trump said that the goal is to reduce the dependence of the United States on chips made abroad. “We want to make our chips, semiconductors and other things in our country,” he said, emphasizing the need to move important parts of the technological supply chain. “You must show some flexibility. No one should be so hard, ”he added, referring to possible exceptions for companies that meet specific criteria.

This is the statement that the United States again has primary for the production and assembly of mobile phones and laptops, can affect the final prices for users, especially outside North America, which should take into account that the additional costs that electronic companies will plant when worried about the whole process.
