I think they assume that a USA device would have tariff only on the imported chips inside, whereas a device from another country would have its chips tariffed, as well as an additional tariff on the full device when imported.
I don’t know if this is the case or not because Trump is unclear and as others have pointed out this would be trivial to evade if components aren’t tariffed separately.
No matter what those in the USA would be paying more for electronics.
Perhaps somehow we still believe he wouldn’t fuck over Americans that much.
There’s chips in everything and they simply won’t be made domestically any time soon.
So any product containing chips will have a 100% tariff applied?
Edit: product imported to the USA
I feel like there must be a miscommunication/misunderstanding here.
The tariffs only apply to the imported products. That’s how tariffs work.
Right.
If you import components into a US product then you only pay the tariff on those components, not the entire product.
Isn’t that in agreement with OP? Any products made in USA that contain chips will cost more to make due to the 100% tariff on the chips.
I believe they’re referring to products made in the USA that contain chips.
As in importing chips would be 100% but importing a product that contains chips would be 15%?
In 2025 everything is a meme.
Holy shit you weren’t kidding.
I’m not from the USA and neither is Nintendo but I’m sure it’s one of their biggest markets.
Reduced sales will hurt. Nintendo has enough cash to eat the cost but that sets a bad precedent.
How many Switches sold in Brazil vs. USA?
They need to make up lost money somewhere. It’s probably easier for them to raise prices everywhere than raise US ones even more. Especially since a Canadian switch is the same thing.
Warning, it gets racist the deeper you read.
Bigger acts are less likely to be on it but any smaller artists will likely be there.
Is that still true? This announcement states:
Bandcamp Fridays will continue in 2025 on the following dates:
September 5th
October 3rd
December 5th
In Canada, I’d like to see Interac develop into one. Hopefully more prominence wouldn’t ruin it
Edit:
Following several aborted merger attempts which were either blocked by the Competition Bureau or by some of the co-owners between 2008 and 2013, Interac and Acxsys were combined into a single for-profit organization, Interac Corporation, on 1 February 2018.
Never mind. It would be inevitable.
The buggy wasn’t driven by Trump, but is thought to be his “getaway vehicle” should anyone open fire on the course. The black, obviously armored vehicle followed Trump around as he played golf, with many experts noting that it bore similarities to “The Beast” — Trump’s protective vehicle stateside.
This feels like semantics. Sure, domestically made products wouldn’t have tariffs directly applied. But they will still increase in price as a result of this policy.
Which most of us here have reduced to “prices will rise on USA made products as a result of these tariffs”.
So yes, tariffs aren’t applied to domestic productions directly, but the end product will still cost more and the reason will be the tariffs.
I think we agree now, yes?
