@#1 ... intends to place a 100% tariff on microchips ...

Will that tariff only be on individual chips, or will it also include chips embedded in devices that are imported?

These two recent criminal cases involving microchip technology theft may have something to do with Dummkopf Trumpf's latest blather. The manifestly inattentive Dotard may have gotten wind of these two cases from junta member USAG Pam Bondi.
