Target: President Donald Trump and the United States Trade Representative
Goal: We urge President Trump and the U.S. administration to immediately halt plans for new tariffs on semiconductor chips, and instead pursue policies that support fair trade, protect jobs, and foster innovation.
The proposed tariffs on semiconductor chips, as signaled by President Trump, will have far-reaching negative consequences for workers, consumers, and the broader technology industry. Companies like Nvidia and AMD rely on complex global supply chains, and new tariffs would increase costs, disrupt production, and threaten jobs across the sector. These tariffs risk triggering retaliatory measures from trading partners, further destabilizing the market and jeopardizing access to critical international markets such as China.
Instead of punitive tariffs, we call for policies that strengthen domestic manufacturing, protect workers' rights, and ensure affordable access to technology. Tariffs are a blunt instrument that will be felt most acutely by ordinary people—through higher prices, job losses, and reduced innovation. We demand a more thoughtful approach that prioritizes the needs of workers, consumers, and the future of technology.
