Donald Trump's decision to place tariffs on Taiwan comes as China made significant breakthroughs with AI development.

President Donald Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on Taiwan-made chips, which could hit Nvidia, one of TSMC's biggest customers.

Right now, the biggest chipmaker in the world is facing massive tariffs in the US. The G5 will be Google's first Tensor chip made by TSMC President Donald Trump promised tariffs of up to 100% on Taiwan’s export of microchips to the US.

While the tariffs aim to boost domestic manufacturing, they are unlikely to divert production from Asia immediately.

In TSMC’s case, this is in the form of a $12 billion semiconductor factor in Arizona, supporting by a $6.6 billion CHIPS Act subsidy won last year. Since then, the semiconductor giant has pledged to build two more facilities in Arizona, bringing the company’s total planned investment to around $65 billion.

The tariffs would ensnare cutting-edge smartphone and PC-related chips for Apple, AMD and Nvidia if enacted. But Trump is betting his plan will bring more chip production to the US.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has responded to President Trump's recent threats to implement trade tariffs on electronics.

Taiwan's government will soon look at whether it needs to help its domestic industry over threats by U.S. President Donald Trump to put tariffs on semiconductors, Premier Cho Jung-tai said on Wednesday.

If $2,000 for Nvidia's toasty new RTX 5090 graphics card feels a little steep, things might be about to get a whole lot more expensive. Speaking to Republicans at a conference in Miami on Monday, President Trump threatened to impose up to 100% tariffs on chips from Taiwan.

Ordinarily, most investment trusts paying a dividend will seek to cover the cost from their underlying revenue, but one of the strengths of the structure is that boards have the option to salt away income in revenue reserves in the good times and dip into them in leaner times.
