Overview

Summary
President Trump, after taking office, initiated a tariff war with China, Canada, and Mexico immediately, fulfilling the commitment he made in November 2024. This report will update the latest developments and impact analysis of this event. Additionally, Trump announced that high tariffs would be imposed on certain products, specifically targeting Taiwanese semiconductor products with a 100% tariff. If this policy is implemented, it could lead to skyrocketing chip prices in the US market and exacerbate the reorganization of the global supply chain, thus resulting in a profound impact on the technology and trade markets.
