Trump Warns of ‘Quite Substantial’ Semiconductor Tariffs After White House Tech Dinner — Bitcoin Slips

COINOTAG News on September 5 reported that President Trump, after a White House dinner with technology executives, told reporters he discussed tariff matters with attendees. The remarks, attributed to Securities Times, underscore administration focus on trade measures affecting the tech sector.

According to the report, the president said he intends to impose tariffs on chip companies that have not established operations in the U.S. market, and described a “quite substantial” levy on semiconductors. These statements reflect official commentary rather than enacted policy.

Market participants and corporate compliance teams are likely to monitor subsequent regulatory guidance and tariff rulemaking closely, as any formal measures would have operational and cost implications for firms with cross-border semiconductor supply chains.
