[ad_1] The TOI correspondent from Washington: The United States is exempting a wide array of electronics including computers, smartphones, hard drives, semiconductors, chip-making equipment from President Trump’s so-called “reciprocal tariffs” in a climbdown aimed at assuaging America consumer fears of price hikes and support US tech giants like Apple, Microsoft, Google, Dell and others. The US Customs and Border Protection published the exclusions on Friday night amid growing domestic skepticism about Trump's tariff gambit that has failed to bring China to its knees, and instead elicited a defiant response from Beijing. China accounts for more than 70% of global output of consumer electronics according to some industry estimates, and the US concession, albeit meant to safeguard national security and protect its domestic constituency, is also seen as retreat in Washington's tariff standoff with Beijing. The Trump White House is putting […]
