How Trump’s tariffs will hurt US tech companies

On Monday night, the US Trade Representative (USTR) finalized a new round of tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese imports, and the impact on tech companies will be severe. Starting next week, affected goods will face a 10 percent tax as they enter the country, rising to 25 percent at the end of the year. The tariffs spare the most popular consumer products like phones and computers, but a wide range of electronics are listed, including printed circuit boards, power assemblies, and computer chips.
