Economist: US 232 survey results and tariff plan will not be implemented immediately

BlockBeats News: On August 6th, according to foreign media reports, the US government is about to announce the investigation results of Section 232 on specific industries such as global semiconductors, pharmaceutical raw materials, servers, critical components, and minerals. Economists point out that according to the procedure, the US President will take action within 90 days of receiving the report after the survey results are released. During this period, all countries have the opportunity to negotiate with the United States. Therefore, similar to the equivalent tariffs in early April, the survey results and tariff plan of Section 232 should not be implemented immediately. The United States may offer investment frameworks or structures and further negotiate with other countries to invest in the United States, with conditions that may include different terms and amounts, in exchange for reduced tariff rates. As for the semiconductor tariff rate, economists have speculated on a level of 20% -35%. (Golden Ten)
