How Trump Tariffs Could Impact Tech Giants Like Nvidia, Microsoft

President Donald Trump said 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico are on track to go into place on March 4, and said he would impose an additional 10% tax on Chinese imports, moves that would deepen his fight with the nation’s largest trading partners.  The president paused the sweeping duties on Canada and Mexico on Feb. 3 for one month after both countries’ leaders announced new border security measures. But the US president had recently sowed confusion about whether they would take effect once the grace period ended.  Trump said Thursday in a social media post that drugs from the US’s North American neighbors are still entering “at very high and unacceptable levels.” Gil Luria, head of technology research at D.A. Davidson, discusses how this latest trade war salvo from the White House could trickle down to some of the biggest tech companies in the United States. Gil speaks with Tom Keene and Paul Sweeney on Bloomberg Radio.
