Big Tech Speaks Out as Trump Proposes New Tariffs

Big Tech firms have mainly kept quiet about President Donald Trump’s tariffs on items imported from China, Canada, and Mexico, even though the taxes might have a negative effect on their operations.

Jay Peter of TheVerge has previously written on this twice: once in February, just after Trump announced them, and again a week later, following the halt of the tariffs on Mexico and Canada and the implementation of the first 10 percent duty on China, he assisted with more information regarding his findings where he went further with TheVerge to contact several Big Tech and related firms for both pieces, but the great majority of them either declined to speak or did not respond at all. Those that did respond typically provided generalisations.

They have done another round of outreach, and while there are a few new comments, things remain essentially the same. The latest information gotten is shared below:

“As they have done in the past, we will aggressively work to keep prices as low as possible for our customers,” said Rodrigo Santos Legaspi, a Walmart spokeswoman. They urge everyone to try to reach a compromise that would shield consumers from price increases and keep our economy expanding in the interim.

Target and Best Buy CEOs have publicly announced that their stores’ pricing would soon increase.

“What they have observed is that everyone will be raising the price of the GPU components very soon,” said Angela Cheng, a spokesman for Gigabyte. Without a doubt, things will alter. They will have to adjust as necessary. However, nothing is verified.

“They have limited impact from the additional recently introduced tariffs because they manufacture Framework Laptops and Mainboards in Taiwan,” said Eric Schumacher, a spokesman for Framework. As they strive to diversify our supply base, we are now considering the fact that some of our modules are made in China when determining future module prices for US clients in the Framework Marketplace.

Anthony Spence, an Asus representative, and Rebecca Goldman, a representative for LG, were both interviewed and they both chose not to comment. 

Responses from Nintendo, Samsung, Apple, Meta, and Amazon are yet to be received regarding the subject matter.

Lisa Emard, a representative for Acer, declined to comment. Jason Chen, the chairman and CEO of Acer, said in February that the business will increase laptop pricing.

Vince Jesaitis, Head of Government Affairs at Arm: “Arm backs US and other government initiatives to strengthen supply chain resilience. We won’t speculate on the policy instruments the future administration could employ to solve this, including tariffs, even though it is obvious that this is a top priority.

Other than a few small adjustments, the situation remains much the same as when I last wrote about it:

Nvidia representative Stephanie Matthew, Microsoft representative Kate Frischmann, and Google representative Jose Castaneda all declined to comment.

Kishore Sawh, a spokesman of the Sony Digital Imaging agency, declined to comment on either my previous piece or this one.

Canon USA announced that “Canon U.S.A., Inc. continues to monitor the situation regarding the tariffs” using a generic press email address without a designated spokesman. We recently reached out to the firm, but they declined to respond.

“We are assessing the impact internally and will be able to share more details once we complete the full evaluation and receive guidance from the USTR or other relevant departments,” DJI wrote in a generic press email without a designated representative.

Alibaba, AMD, AT&T, Broadcom, Dell, EchoStar / Dish, Framework, Fujifilm, HP, Intel, Lenovo, Logitech, Newegg, Nikon, Panasonic, Philips, Qualcomm, Razer, Shein, TCL, Temu, Texas Instruments, T-Mobile, and Verizon are among the other firms that have not responded.
