Core Viewpoint - The U.S. government, under President Trump, has announced a 25% tariff on certain advanced AI chips, including Nvidia's H200 and AMD's MI325X, to encourage domestic production and reduce reliance on foreign manufacturers, particularly in Taiwan [1][2]. Group 1: Tariff Announcement - The tariff will be applied before the targeted chips reach the U.S. and are sent to Chinese customers and other foreign markets [2]. - The tariff is narrowly focused and does not apply to chips imported to support U.S. technology supply chain development and domestic semiconductor manufacturing [2]. - Trump indicated that the U.S. consumes about 25% of the world's semiconductors but only manufactures about 10% of the chips it needs, highlighting a significant reliance on overseas supply chains [2]. Group 2: Impact on Companies - Following the announcement, stock prices of Nvidia, AMD, and Qualcomm saw slight declines in after-hours trading [2]. - Nvidia and AMD have expressed compliance with U.S. export control laws, while Nvidia relies heavily on Taiwanese companies for chip production [2][5]. - There are concerns regarding whether Chinese buyers will purchase the H200 chips, as they are perceived as a "special version" designed for the Chinese market, and there are indications that Chinese companies are seeking to develop domestic alternatives [6][5]. Group 3: Political Context - The announcement follows a series of export restrictions aimed at curbing China's technological development, with Trump previously allowing Nvidia to export H200 chips to China under specific conditions [5]. - The 25% fee on the H200 chips is interpreted by some as a disguised export tax, with implications for Taiwanese manufacturers who may bear the additional costs [5][6].

【文/观察者网 齐倩】 据白宫网站消息，当地时间1月14日，美国总统特朗普宣布对某些先进人工智能（AI）芯片征收25%的 关税，其中包括例如英伟达的H200芯片和AMD的MI325X芯片。 彭博社称，这是特朗普此前一天（13日）刚刚批准的协议的关键一步。该协议允许英伟达对华出口在中 国台湾地区制造的H200芯片，但特朗普曾明确表示：美国政府需获得25%的分成。 路透社则提到，此举旨在激励本土生产，减少对台湾等地区芯片制造商的依赖。 宫截图 根据特朗普签署的公告，在进行了为期九个月的232条调查后，美国政府将在目标芯片运抵美国、最终 运往中国客户和其他外国市场之前，对这些芯片征收25%的关税。 白宫在一份事实说明中指出，这项关税将狭窄聚焦，不适用于为支持美国技术供应链建设和加强国内半 导体衍生品制造能力而进口的芯片。但"在不久的将来"，特朗普可能对半导体及其衍生产品的进口征收 更广泛的关税，以激励国内制造。 据介绍，美国商务部长卢特尼克拥有广泛酌情权，可进一步豁免。 消息公布后，英伟达、AMD和高通的股价在盘后交易中略有下跌。 据报道，虽然英伟达、AMD和英特尔等美国公司设计了许多最广泛使用的芯片，但大多数芯片 ...

根据特朗普签署的公告，相反他指示商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克和贸易代表贾米森·格里尔就进口"继续进 行谈判"，并在90天后提交报告。白宫发布的事实清单称， 特朗普可能"在不久的将来"宣布新的关税以 及相应的对冲计划，以激励国内制造。 公告称，25%的关税适用于"一类非常狭窄的半导体产品"。据事实清单，这包括H200和AMD公司的 MI325X芯片。对于"为支持美国技术供应链建设而进口的芯片"则不涵盖。编辑/陈佳靖 特朗普1月14日在签字仪式上告诉记者："这虽然不是最高水平，但也是一个非常好的水平。中国需要这 些芯片，其他人也需要。我们将从这些芯片的销售中拿到25%。" 美国根据《贸易扩展法》第232条进行的调查发现外国制造芯片损害美国国家安全，但特朗普目前暂缓 对更大范围的外国制造芯片征收关税。 美国将对特定半导体进口产品征收25%的关税，这是总统唐纳德·特朗普所批准一项协议中的关键一 步，以此允许英伟达将H200人工智能AI处理器销往中国。 据特朗普1月14日签署的行政命令，美国政府将在芯片最终运往中国客户和其他海外市场之前，在进口 到美国的环节征收关税。英伟达将自己设计的芯片交由台积电生产，包括特朗普在去年1 ...
