Chip sales to China get 25% cut.
The executive action imposes a 25% tariff on semiconductors transshipped through the US and creates a 25% US revenue share on allowed chip sales to China, excluding top-end Blackwell/Rubin; Trump views this as a good deal that supports chip sales while protecting top technology.
