Trump Pauses Tariffs on Phones, Computers, and Chips From China

Smartphones, computers, and other electronics will be spared from the steep tariffs President Donald Trump announced earlier this month, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in guidance released late Friday night.

The move comes after concerns from Apple and other tech companies that rely on China to manufacture their products. Trump’s 145% tariff on Chinese imports sparked fears that prices for phones and laptops would soar. Apple alone lost more than $600 billion in market value in the days after the tariffs were announced.

Amazon Eyes $15 Billion Warehouse Expansion Across U.S. Cities, Towns

Amazon is considering a $15 billion warehouse expansion plan that would add approximately 80 new logistics facilities across U.S. cities and rural areas, Bloomberg reported Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The proposed facilities would primarily be delivery hubs, with some including large, automated fulfillment centers. The company is currently seeking proposals from capital partners and is reportedly open to long-term leases ranging from 15 to 25 years. Select locations could potentially receive direct investment from Amazon.

“Meetings like this with our capital partners are routine and part of the normal due diligence process, as we consider potential, future projects,” said Amazon spokesperson Steve Kelly. He added that the projects remain under discussion and have not been finalized.

If the plan moves forward, it would mark Amazon’s return to warehouse development after a pandemic-era construction boom followed by a pullback. During…
