(Bloomberg) — President Donald Trump denies that there was a tariff “exception” for certain electronics announced Friday, saying in a post on Truth Social that these products are still subject to existing tariffs of 20% and that the administration is looking into tariffs on the whole supply chain for electronics.

“These products are subject to the existing 20% Fentanyl Tariffs, and they are just moving to a different Tariff ‘bucket,’” Trump says.

Upcoming national security tariff investigations will look at semiconductors and the “whole electronics supply chain,” Trump added.

Trump says nobody is “off the hook” for unfair trade, “especially not China.”
