In the aftermath of President Trump’s second term inauguration, a series of executive orders has been issued with a clear aim: to rejuvenate American manufacturing. Spearheading this initiative alongside Trump is Elon Musk and a proposed Office of Government Efficiency. The administration has raised concerns over budget cuts, potential departmental closures, and, importantly, new tariffs.

This shift in policy includes significant tariffs targeted at semiconductors, automobiles, and pharmaceuticals. In February, Trump introduced a minimum tariff of 25% on foreign-made semiconductors, intending to encourage domestic chip production. Such tariffs are expected to drive up costs for enterprises reliant on these products, compelling them to strengthen and secure their supply chains.

Network managers, in particular, need to brace for these changes. The reliance on a global sourcing strategy for chips means that price increases from tariffs will likely be passed on to them, making budgeting more challenging. As the semiconductor industry steadily shifts towards homegrown suppliers, the implications of these tariffs will ripple through the technology sector, necessitating adjustments and careful planning from network managers to navigate the new environment effectively.
