U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer says the Trump administration is weighing the use of tariffs on imported semiconductors to encourage domestic chip manufacturing. Greer emphasizes that import duties could help spur investment and production in the United States. Both outlets report that, while the administration is evaluating such measures, there are no immediate plans to impose new tariff levies. The discussion is presented as part of broader efforts to strengthen domestic growth and chip supply chains by reducing reliance on imports. The reporting does not specify the scope, timing, or potential rates of any proposed duties, and it does not outline impacts on trading partners. As described, the issue remains under consideration rather than finalized policy, with Greer indicating that the U.S. is exploring options to support local semiconductor production.
