BlockBeats News, April 13th, U.S. Commerce Secretary Raimondo said in an interview that electronic products such as smartphones, laptops, and wireless earbuds that were previously exempt from tariffs will be reevaluated as part of the government's investigation into the semiconductor industry. These products may be included in the semiconductor industry tariffs, which could be implemented in one to two months. When asked to clarify whether the tariff on iPhones would "resume in about a month," Raimondo replied, "That's right. We need our drugs, semiconductors, and electronics to be produced in the United States." His remarks will intensify uncertainty among businesses about Trump's tariff actions. Trump's tariff measures have seen a series of reversals, and last week they led to a large-scale sell-off in the $29 trillion U.S. Treasury market. Furthermore, Raimondo also mentioned that tariffs on the pharmaceutical industry will be imposed in the next month or two. (FXStreet)

BlockBeats News, April 13th, Fox Business reporter Charles Gasparino stated on social media that "the market's reaction to the 'Tim Apple Tariff Exemption' is expected to be positive; the Nasdaq may soar as this exemption also applies to Nvidia and other large tech companies. Sources say that from a political standpoint, this move further exposes the weak argument of U.S. Commerce Secretary Lutnick and U.S. Trade Advisor Navarro—that high tariffs and other restrictive measures can 'magically' create domestic job opportunities. If that's the case, then why exempt those companies most reliant on foreign labor and components?"

Investors and CEOs generally believe that this tariff plan is one of the worst policy rollouts in recent years. They all agree that we need a new trade mechanism, and the president's criticism is justified. However, it requires further research and thoughtful action, most likely after tax cuts and deregulation take effect, but the result is quite the opposite."
