Trump Team Plans Tariffs On Everything Except Mom’s Meatloaf
KEY POINTS
- •The Trump administration is considering expanding semiconductor tariffs to include products using those chips.
- •Politico reported, citing eight anonymous sources familiar with discussions, that the proposal covers laptops, gaming consoles, and servers.
- •Russia dismissed US media reports as 'scare stories' unrelated to their intentions, amid Pentagon and NATO diplomatic moves.
In a plot twist that sounds like a 'Black Mirror' episode written by The Committee of Bureaucratic Nightmares, the Trump administration, per Politico's eight anonymous insiders, is cooking up tariffs not just on semiconductors but on anything using them—think laptops, gaming consoles, and even data center servers. Because why tax chips alone when you can rent-a-tariff the entire cyber kitchen? Meanwhile, the Kremlin is busy labeling US media reports as 'scare stories' that are about as grounded in reality as a reality TV reunion special. All this unfolds as Pentagon’s policy chief preps a NATO powwow, likely perfect for dodging questions about tariffs versus Russian whispers.
