Trump Exempts Computers, Handsets, Chips From Reciprocal Tariff Blitz

Saturday, Apr 12, 2025 - 07:55 AM

 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued an updated guidance late Friday night on product exclusions from President Trump's reciprocal tariffs, imposed under Executive Order 14257 and its amendments (EO 14259). The exclusions cover a wide range of electronic devices, including smartphones, laptops, and related components.

 

First, President Trump paused reciprocal tariffs for non-retaliating countries (e.g., China) for 90 days last week. Now, updated guidance from CBP reveals that some of the highest-value trade—particularly a wide range of electronics—is excluded from the reciprocal tariffs.

 

Among the 20 tariff codes listed for exemption, three stand out in particular:

 

8471 – Automatic data processing machines and units thereof (e.g., laptops, desktops, servers).

 

8517.13.00 – Smartphones and other telecommunication apparatus for cellular networks.

 

8542 – Electronic integrated circuits (e.g., microprocessors, memory chips).

The establishment and its media’s attack on populism is clearly seen with Marine Le Pen

By Rhoda Wilson on April 12, 2025

 

Marine Le Pen is the most popular leader in France, yet the taxpayer-funded press corps ignores that salient detail while it smears her supporters as radicals amidst the lawfare campaign aimed at barring her from power.

 

Le Pen is not the only popular leader being targeted in the West.

 

The Regime Media versus Le Pen and the French

By Brownstone Institute, 10 April 2025

 

Last week, Parisian judge Bénédicte de Perthuis sentenced Le Pen to 4 years and banned her from participating in the 2027 Presidential election for purportedly misappropriating funding from the European Union. In a profoundly Orwellian ruling, de Perthuis insisted that Le Pen’s actions amounted to a “serious and lasting attack on the rules of democratic life in Europe.”

 

Beyond the obvious concerns that the courts have yet again applied double standards of justice to punish populist leaders, the lawfare represents a direct and coordinated attack, amplified by state-funded media, against the will of the people of France.

 

In the wake of Le Pen’s conviction, state-funded media, from NPR to the BBC to Politico, and supposedly neutral wires like Reuters and the Associated Press, have tagged Le Pen with the label of “FAR-RIGHT,” a not-so-subtle association with fascism and Nazism. The editors collectively ignore that they are labelling a plurality of the country as extremists, given that polls show Le Pen is fifteen points ahead of the second-most popular candidate in the 2027 Presidential election.
