Commerce Secretary Howard Lꦯutnick on Sunday su🐽ggested U.S. tariff exemptions on smartphones, computers, semiconductors, and other electronics could be temporary, with new tariffs on the way.
“They're exempt from the reciprocal tariffs but they're included in the semiconductor tariffs, which are coming in probably a month or two. So, these are coming soon,” Lutnick said Sunday on ABC News’ “This Week.”
“So this is not like a permanent sort of exemption. [President Trump is] just clarif൲ying that these are not available to be negotiated away by countries. These are things that are national security, that we need to be mꦿade in America,” Lutnick said.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection had on Friday issued updated guidance exempting a wide range of electronics, including smartphones and computers, from President Trump's 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:"reciprocal" tariffs.
