President Donald Trump’s tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China have prompted limited responses from major tech companies, despite the potential impact on their operations. While some companies have issued generic statements, many remain silent or have declined to comment. Walmart spokesperson Rodrigo Santos Legaspi emphasized efforts to keep prices low, while Best Buy and Target CEOs acknowledged impending price increases. Gigabyte and Acer have indicated potential price hikes for components and laptops, respectively.
Other companies, including Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Sony, have declined to comment or provided vague responses. Similarly, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Samsung have not addressed the issue publicly. The situation remains fluid, as the Trump administration continues to adjust tariff policies, including a recent one-month exemption on automotive tariffs for Canada and Mexico.
The long-term effects of these tariffs on tech companies may only become apparent during their next major product launches. Questions remain about whether products like the iPhone 17 or Ray-Ban Meta glasses will see price increases as a result.
