The U.S. government slams 60 trading partners with new 10–12.5% tariffs targeting forced labor in the global semiconductor supply chain — hitting EU, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. While U.S. chips are designed domestically, critical materials, equipment, and assembly still rely on these regions, risking double-digit taxes on imported chips. Not a temporary fix — these tariffs are built to last, already rattling investor confidence and triggering a sell-off in semiconductors. Kulicke and Soffa’s shares tumbled nearly 4% — but context matters: the stock’s surged 100% this year and remains below its all-time high. Market volatility aside, long-term interest persists. The ripple effects could reshape global manufacturing costs and tech pricing — and this is just the beginning.
