Trump Considers Reversing Chips Act Amid Tariff Impact on Tech Sector
March 6, 2025 - 10:29
In a surprising development, former President Donald Trump has labeled the Chips Act as "horrible," hinting at a potential reversal of the program designed to bolster semiconductor manufacturing in the United States. This shift could have significant implications for the tech industry, which has been grappling with supply chain disruptions and increasing production costs.
Additionally, the tariffs imposed during Trump's administration continue to reverberate through the global tech landscape, affecting everything from hardware production to software development. Companies are now facing higher costs, which may lead to increased prices for consumers and stunted innovation in the sector.
In a related yet fascinating story, a startup has made headlines by achieving a breakthrough in its ambitious project aimed at bringing extinct species back to life. Dubbed the "Woolly Mouse," this innovative endeavor represents a merging of technology and biology that could pave the way for future advancements in genetic engineering. As these developments unfold, the intersection of policy and technology remains a critical area to watch.
