ABC News anchor David Muir cut into scheduled programming Monday night with a breaking development from the White House, noting new tariffs ordered by President Donald Trump<\/a> are set to take effect at midnight.<\/p>\n The ABC<\/a> host told viewers the president is imposing a 100% tariff on all chips and semiconductors entering the U.S., a move that could drive up the price of electronics, appliances, and vehicles.<\/p>\n \u201cSo what will this mean for the cost of electronics here in America?\u201d Muir, who trashed NBC late last month, asked, before introducing senior correspondent Mary Bruce. It comes after podcaster Joe Rogan revealed a bombshell new theory about the 2024 Trump assassination attempt<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Bruce reported from the Oval Office, where Trump appeared alongside Apple CEO Tim Cook to announce the tech giant\u2019s plan to invest an additional $100 billion in U.S. manufacturing, building on a $500 billion pledge made in February.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re coming home,\u201d Trump declared, describing the expansion as proof that his economic plan is paying off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Apple said it will use U.S.-made glass from Kentucky for iPhones and Apple Watches, though the company stopped short of meeting Trump\u2019s long-standing demand that iPhones be entirely produced in America.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is a significant step toward the ultimate goal of ensuring that iPhones sold in the United States of America also are made in America,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n Trump emphasized that companies producing or committing to produce in the U.S. will avoid certain taxes.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you\u2019re building in the United States or have committed to build in the United States, there will be no charge,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Fans and critics alike took to social media to voice their opinions on the segment.<\/p>\n \u201cNo charge??? Really? Sounds like another break for corporate America,\u201d one commenter wrote.<\/p>\n \u201cGuess I\u2019ll be using my phone for the next 4 years,\u201d another posted.<\/p>\n Some critics accused Trump of hurting the economy, with one user writing, \u201cHe\u2019s purposely tanking our economy,\u201d and another quipping, \u201cI\u2019m starting to think his middle name is tariff.\u201d<\/p>\n
