Trump says he will look at ‘whole electronic supply chain’

President Donald Trump pledged he will still apply tariffs to phones, computers and popular consumer electronics, downplaying a weekend exemption as a procedural step in his overall push to remake US trade.

The late Friday reprieve — exempting a range of popular electronics from 125% tariffs on China and a 10% flat rate around the globe — is temporary and a procedural step in the longstanding plan to apply a different, specific levy to the sector. Trump doubled down on the plan Sunday.
