President Donald Trump is under tariff effect on goods imported from Mexico, Canada and China, but large technical companies are mostly silent despite the possible impact of the potential impact on their businesses.
I have already written about this twice before: once Shortly after Trump announces him again in February and again a week later After the initial 10 percent of tariffs were implemented on China and Mexico and Canada Tariff were stopped. In both articles, Ruckus Big tech and surrounding industries reached many companies, and most of them refused to comment or did not respond at all. Those who replied usually made general statements.
We have done another round of outreach, and while there are some new comments, things are mostly the same. What’s new here:
Otherwise, the situation is the same as the previous time when I wrote about it, with very minor changes:
But as I wrote earlier, the Trump administration is chaotic, so the nature of the tariff can change at any time. The Trump administration on Wednesday announced a one -month discount on a motor vehicle tariff on Canada and Mexico, As PoliticianCommerce Secretary Howard Lutnik had Indicated yesterday This administration may announce any agreement on Mexico and Canada tariffs at the beginning today.
We cannot see the real permanent effects of these tariffs on tech companies until our next major product is launched. Can iPhone 17 be priced higher? Do you have to pay more for the next generation of ray-ban meta glass? We do not know now.
