Trump to impose 25% to 100% tariffs on Taiwan-made chips, impacting TSMC

[voroxpete@sh.itjust.works]

For Taiwan, it's a matter of survival, plain and simple. They're not going to give up their monopoly because without it they cease to exist. It does not matter how irrational the person they're dealing with is, because for them this is life and death, literally. TSMC is the single biggest national security asset they have.

Wildly bad ideas at exactly the right time in history to do the most damage.

[voroxpete@sh.itjust.works]

2nd amendment

[voroxpete@sh.itjust.works]

Correct. Taiwan considers it a matter of national security to never allow their best processes to be exported. That monopoly is why Taiwan still exists.

Mexico isnt about to replace TSMCs capabilities.

Is America great yet? Did he do it, did he make it great again?

[interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml]

Trump still loves H1B slaves like all billionaires so it's fine

[interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml]

But that would be low!
And really the president doesn't have the power to set prices.
Trump can't magically make eggs cheaper!
And so on.
Chatgpt what is the best open source open hardware guillotine plans?

US CEOs also get the guillotine

[interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml]

Just to be clear, we do not guve a shit about : China, Taiwan, All of South east Asia, Ukraine, Russia, All of Eastern Europe, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Palestine, Iran, all of MENA

You people are all own your own, stop embroilling us in your god damned fucking wars.

Trump is going to use Tariffs to try to offset making larger tax cuts for the wealthy.

It’s better that he does this now so that we have a solid recent example to point to of how this will impact what we pay for goods.

Never mind we have 100 years of data backing this up, people are idiots and won’t recognize the treat until it hurts them directly.

[ocassionallyaduck@lemmy.world]

Ah yes. Our sworn enemy: Taiwan.

It would be comical if it wasn't so sad.

[surph_ninja@lemmy.world]

You’re not wrong, but the Dems are in on this, too. They were pushing the same chipmaker’s visa when they had the reigns, so I wouldn’t count on them helping.

[stevedice@sh.itjust.works]

lol is he even trying to hide being a Russian puppet anymore?

[laitinlok@lemmy.laitinlok.com]

It does not make any sense

[clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world]

Trump had to tariff someone or else he was going to look stupid for never shutting up about tarrifs.

One of the main features of Deepseek is that you can run it yourself. It doesn't matter if Deepseek are based in China if you run the model on your own servers and thus guarantee that your data doesn't leave your own data center.

I'm considering placing a bulk order for these stickers: https://cnliberalism.org/store/p/my-tariffs-did-that-sticker

[cheesenoodle@lemmy.world]

iirc the machines that TSMC uses are made in Holland right when He's also apparently doing his best to piss of Europe, even then there's like a decade long order backlog.
