The Trump tariffs could financially hit Apple's chip production partnership with TSMC, after the President insisted the import taxes will be applied to semiconductors and other specific industries in the near future.

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

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

Apple’s chip production partnership with TSMC will likely take a financial hit from President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs. Trump says he will place import taxes on semiconductors and other specific imports in the near future.

Taiwan's government has been swift to respond to the talk of huge tariffs by the recently inaugurated 47th president of the United States.

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

Semiconductor business between Taiwan and the United States is a "win-win" model for both sides given the high level of complementarity, the government said on Tuesday in response to tariff threats from U.

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.

How big a financial hit would Apple and its Taiwanese chip making partner TSMC take if and when U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs take effect?

Donald Trump called for tariffs on foreign computer chips, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals from places like Taiwan in the near future.
