Show Notes
US manufacturers live in confusing times. Alongside the widespread increases in taxes on imports that took effect this morning, US President Trump suggested a 100% tax on imports of microchips. However, in a maneuver that was less a retreat and more a pirouette, these taxes will not apply to imports from some specific companies, including some of the largest exporters to the US.
