Global tech markets have seen a surge following news that the US has exempted smartphones and key electronic components from previously announced tariffs. This decision comes as President Trump prepares for a meeting with El Salvador’s president while facing backlash over his deportation policies. Despite recent exemptions, Trump has warned that tariffs on semiconductor chips and other electronics are still on the table, indicating that these concessions may be temporary. The administration has suggested that tariffs on imports from China will persist, keeping the trade war dynamic and uncertain. Major tech companies like Apple, Nvidia, and Dell have welcomed the tariff exemptions, but concerns linger about potential new tariffs as Trump hinted at future levies. Market analysts brace for possible shifts as confusion over tariff policies continues to unfold.
