US President Donald Trump on April 2 announced reciprocal tariffs on US trading partners, including 20 percent on goods from the European Union, a move that some experts fear will set off a trade war and cause the world’s economy to tank.
Supply chains are globalized. It just needs one step to be performed in the US (e.g to protect critical IP) for the tarrifs to be applied. Your comment prompted me to do a bit of research on Nvidia’s supply chain, and here is what little I could find, a non-exhaustive list of suppliers.
You’re right, it doesn’t seem like they have parts done in US (mostly Taiwan, China, and Thailand), which should mean they are somewhat safe drom this. But depending on the reseller you buy from, if their distribution network goes through the US, you might still get those tarrifs applied back to you (even if you don’t live there).
