Trump's tariff threats: both good and bad for U.S.AI and semiconductor growth.

President Trump wants the US to be better at making computer chips. He thinks making chips here will help with things like artificial intelligence (AI).

Trump wants to stop giving money to chip makers and might charge extra money on chips from other countries. Experts say this could be bad because we need lots of chips and they might get too expensive.

The Biden administration gave money to chip makers because we didn't have enough chips during the pandemic. This shortage made it hard to make things like cars and computers, and prices went up.

Experts say if chips become more expensive, everything that uses them will also be more expensive. This means things like phones, games, and even cars could get more expensive for everyone.

Other experts say that instead of making it harder to get chips from other countries, we should be working with them. They say that working together is better for everyone and helps us stay strong in technology.
