The Trump administration has launched an investigation into the effects on national security of importing semiconductors and pharmaceutical products, according to Federal Register filings on Monday.
The Commerce Department, in a pair of Federal Register notices set to be published on April 16, said that the probes were initiated under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act—which allows the president to impose tariffs on imports considered a threat to national security.
The department stated that it began investigating the national security implications of importing semiconductors and semiconductor manufacturing equipment (SME) on April 1.
