Trump warns no country 'off the hook' amid tariff tensions

President Donald Trump reaffirmed his hardline stance on tariffs, stating that no country, particularly China, will escape the consequences of what he deems unfair trade practices. Despite recent exemptions for certain electronics, Trump clarified that these products are still subject to existing tariffs, as they are being categorized differently rather than being fully exempted. He emphasized the need for the U.S. to produce semiconductors domestically to avoid reliance on foreign nations and reiterated his administration's commitment to investigating the entire electronics supply chain. Trump's comments follow a tumultuous week that has impacted global markets, underscoring the administration's ongoing trade tensions with China. Chinese officials have responded by calling for the cancellation of all tariffs, warning that protectionist measures lead to no winners. This trade conflict continues to evolve, with implications for international economic relations and domestic manufacturing strategies.
