I could, but haven't you already done so? It'd be awfully nice if you'd post links instead of forcing me to do the work for you.
Ironically that's what Trump seems to want. Trump is trying to force TSMC to buy a 49% share of Intel's foundry services. It's obvious he's going after Lip Bu Tan to weaken Intel and make an acquisition cheaper/easier, but in the long run, leaving Tan alone might be the best way to accomplish that goal.
Doesn't look like he's a Clinton supporter.
Trump has never really been a conservative.
Why bother posting here? They have nothing to prove.
Wait'll you see what's happening to their steel industry.
How does that work exactly?
Wait what? Exactly which American firms benefitted from these tech transfers?
That makes no sense. The Americans being hit hardest by tariffs are importers. Guess who made a shitton of money off moving manufacturing overseas over the last 40+ years? Importers. Lots of the 1% got fat off cheap goods from China they could mark up to make a killing.
In the case of Intel, they certainly can't compete. But then Samsung can't either. It's almost like Trump should be cozying up to South Korea and forming a semiconductor coalition instead of trying to peddle off Intel's failures to TSMC.
10 years? Nah, Intel 3 is a pretty solid node and it's competitive with N5-family nodes from only a few years ago. 18A is looking to be a dumpster fire, though. And Intel 3 was too late to market (and the products released on it were too few and too far behind their competition, e.g. Intel 3 suffered from a lack of compelling designs to really sell it to foundry customers).
Intel is moribund. Any industry analyst could tell you that. They can't compete with TSMC. Trump (and Biden, and most Washington politicians) have been told by numerous advisors that America needs access to cutting-edge semiconductors. Since TSMC seems to be the only fab left on the bleeding edge, in Trump land, the smart thing to do is force TSMC to buy Intel (or at least their foundry business) and use it to produce TSMC nodes state-side. Which is something TSMC has signaled that the do NOT want to do.
It's a weird plan, but then it's probably no more idiotic than Biden's plan, which was to heap largess on Intel as a reward for their failures.
Does the law even specifically mention tariffs? Some analysts say that it doesn't, but then they could be wrong.
