According to BlockBeats, the U.S. government is set to announce the results of its investigation under Section 232 concerning global industries such as semiconductors, pharmaceutical ingredients, servers, critical components, and minerals. Economists suggest that following the release of the findings, U.S. President Donald Trump will have 90 days to act upon receiving the report. During this period, countries will have the opportunity to negotiate with the United States, similar to the reciprocal tariffs discussed in early April. The implementation of Section 232 tariffs and plans is not expected to occur immediately.
The U.S. may propose an investment framework or structure to further negotiate terms with other countries regarding investments in the U.S., potentially involving varying durations and amounts in exchange for reduced tariff rates. Economists speculate that semiconductor tariff rates could range between 20% and 35%.
