President Donald Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on Taiwan-made chips, which could hit Nvidia, one of TSMC's biggest customers.

Donald Trump's decision to place tariffs on Taiwan comes as China made significant breakthroughs with AI development.

The tariffs would ensnare cutting-edge smartphone and PC-related chips for Apple, AMD and Nvidia if enacted. But Trump is betting his plan will bring more chip production to the US.
