Trump levies additional tariffs on ‘advanced computing chips’

The Trump Administration said Wednesday that it will place tariffs on certain “advanced computing chips,” such as the Nvidia H200, to address what the government referred to as national security concerns. The additional tariffs didn’t name a specific country, referring only to “national security concerns with respect to imports of semiconductors, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and their derivative products.” What those products are weren’t specified, there were a few exceptions. The government said that a 25 percent tariff will apply to “certain advanced computing chips, such as the Nvidia H200 and AMD MI325X. This tariff will not apply to chips that are imported to support the buildout of the U.S. technology supply chain and the strengthening of domestic manufacturing capacity for derivatives of semiconductors.” The fact sheet announcing the tariffs didn’t link to any additional list of products. The government also warned that the Trump administration may impose broader tariffs on semiconductor imports and their derivative products, in a push to promote domestic semiconductor manufacturing. Trump and his administration used the prospect of tariffs as leverage to push major chip manufacturers to invest in U.S. production. For example, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) announced a $100 billion investment in U.S. chip plants. In August 2025,Trump threatened a 100 percent tariff on all imports of computer chips , unless they were made in the United States. Before today, the administration had placed a 50 percent tariff on chips originating in China.

It's interesting, because magnetic polish is hardly new. I remember seeing it hit the shelves of bougier shops in my early 20s, only to trickle down to drugstore brands a year or two later. What is new, however, are the inventive ways people are using it. Just about anything that has its own localized magnetic field has been used to alter magnetic polish, and now that growing list includes the Apple Watch charger.
