Those products are going to be part of the semiconductor sectoral tariffs which are coming. So you're going to see this week there'll be a register in the federal registry. There'll be a notice put out. That is different types of work. So we're going to do that. We did that in autos. The president's going to do it for pharmaceuticals, and he's going to do it for semiconductors.

So all those products are going to come under semiconductors, and they're going to have a special focus type of tariff to make sure that those products get reshored. We need to have semiconductors. We need to have chips, and we need to have flat panels. We need to have these things made in America. We can't be reliant on Southeast Asia.

We're in a beautiful position for the next 90 days. We've got over 75 countries that are going to come in and negotiate with us. And what they're going to have to do without fail is they're going to have to lower their non-tariff barriers because those are the bigger ones than the tariff barriers. And we're going to get a great deal for America and a great deal for the world.

Elon's a car manufacturer, but he's not a car manufacturer. He's a car assembler. If you go to his Texas plant, a good part of the engines that he gets, which in the EV case is the batteries come from Japan and come from China. The electronics come from Taiwan. And he wants the cheap foreign parts, and we understand that. But we want him home.

the economist tools, because it's based on concepts like export and import demand elasticities, currency adjustments, and things like that. But here's the analytical issue we're trying to do under the principle that the president wants to charge those countries what they charge us. As you pointed out,

Vietnam has a non-tariff, applied tariff rate that's much larger than ours, but doesn't come near the tariff we've charged them. So the question is, how do you value the following, Phil? So let me count the ways. You've got to value currency manipulation.

You've got to value the VAT tax distortions, dumping, export subsidies, technical barriers to trade, agricultural barriers to trade, quotas, bans, counterfeiting, intellectual property theft, and all of that. So here's the punchline.

If you look at the trade deficit, which every country runs from us, the first thing economists should tell you, ask the next one you have on your show, should the U.S. have chronic and sustained trade deficits? According to economic theory, they should not. So what the trade deficit does for any given country, it's the sum of all cheating. It's the sum of all unfair trade practices.
