U.S. President Donald Trump has imposed a 15% tariff on critical chip materials aimed at countering Chinese manufacturers. This indicates that China has established a monopoly in global polysilicon production, affecting competition among enterprises. This move is directed at protecting the U.S. economy. Trump's decision could bring a new aspect to competition in the global technology market. The aim is to reduce dependence on products coming from China, primarily in the energy and technology sectors.
