Your guide to what the 2024 US election means for Washington and the world

US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick made a significant announcement regarding potential tariffs on smartphones, computers, and other consumer electronics. He suggested that the exemptions granted on Saturday may only be temporary.

Following a week of market turbulence triggered by President Trump’s initiation of a trade war on “liberation day” on April 2, the Trump administration made a surprising move late on Friday. They decided to exclude smartphones and other consumer electronics from the steep “reciprocal” tariffs, providing a much-needed boost for Big Tech.

However, during an appearance on ABC’s This Week, Lutnick revealed that products such as smartphones, laptops, and wireless earphones, which had initially been spared from tariffs, could be subject to reevaluation as part of a government investigation into semiconductors. This investigation could potentially lead to the imposition of tariffs on these products.

Lutnick stated, “What he’s doing is he’s saying they’re exempt from the reciprocal tariffs. But they’re included in the semiconductor tariffs, which are coming in probably a month or two.” When pressed on the possibility of tariffs being imposed on iPhones in the near future, Lutnick confirmed, “Correct. That’s right. We need our medicines and we need semiconductors and our electronics to be built in America.”

The uncertainty surrounding Trump’s tariff policies has caused concern among businesses, particularly after a series of reversals and the recent sell-off in the US Treasuries market. The unpredictable nature of the tariff rollout has left many wondering about the potential impact on the economy and global trade.
