President Trump has again said the long-promised semiconductor tariffs are coming very shortly, and will be harsh. But, he also implies that Apple and the rest of US big tech will not be hit by them.

Trump’s remarks came during his dinner with Big Tech CEOs, including Tim Cook, at the White House. His comments were not especially clear, but the implication was that companies represented at the dinner would be exempt.
“I’ve discussed it with the people here, chips and semiconductors, and we’ll be putting tariffs on companies that aren’t coming in,” the President said, according to CNBC.
