The Trump administration has started caving to pressure from American big tech, attempting to quietly and without fanfare remove a long list of goods from his tariff list, effectively making around 30% of Chinese exports to the US tariff-free.

The list includes smartphones, laptops, computers, semiconductors, and solar cells, which the US spends around $127 billion importing from China each year. This comes after Trump was forced to pause his tariffs around the world for 90 days, excluding China, who refused to play his games and instead put up a show of force, effectively beating Trump at his own game.
