  • President Donald Trump has threatened to introduce tariffs on Taiwan-made chips, which could hit Nvidia, one of TSMC's biggest customers.

The article discusses the potential impact of former President Donald Trump's threat to impose tariffs on Taiwanese semiconductor chips, which could significantly affect Nvidia, a leading U.S. chipmaker. Trump's comments, made during a campaign event, suggest a policy aimed at reducing reliance on foreign technology, particularly from Taiwan, a major hub for semiconductor manufacturing. This threat comes at a time when Nvidia is already facing challenges from competitors like DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup that has developed a new AI model potentially rivaling Nvidia's offerings. The proposed tariffs could disrupt Nvidia's supply chain, increase costs, and complicate its market position, especially as it navigates increasing competition and geopolitical tensions. The article highlights the broader implications for the tech industry, where such trade policies could lead to a reshuffling of global supply chains and affect the strategic positioning of tech giants like Nvidia in the AI and semiconductor markets.
