President-elect Donald Trump proposed new tariffs on China as a centerpiece of his campaign. What will this mean for whoever wins the battle over producing the best semiconductors, and controlling the supply chains that serve as a pipeline to dominance? How will the United States be positioned in navigating the chip wars under Trump?

FP’s Ravi Agrawal brought these questions to Chris Miller, author of the bestselling book, Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology. They will discuss the effectiveness of tariffs, the state of global semiconductor competition, and the other major players in the race for these technologies.
