In a press conference at the White House on Wednesday, Trump reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to protecting the domestic technology sector by tightening controls on imported products, particularly semiconductor chips.

“Kami akan mengenakan tarif yang sangat besar ke atas cip dan semikonduktor. Kadar itu akan menjadi 100 peratus,” katanya kepada media.
