The imposition of tariffs does nothing to hurt China, but it does a lot to hurt our company. -Phil Poel, Ember Technologies
Frankly speaking, for the printing supplies industry, these tariffs do more damage to the consumers and intellectual property holders like HP than it will do to the IP infringing products. Such a result would conflict with the administration's goal of minimizing economic harm to consumers and would not be effective in advancing the goals of the Section 301 investigation. - Andy Binder, HP Inc.
We also worry that these tariffs will impact competitiveness. The net impact of this trade action will be that firms not operating within the US will receive an advantage. - Mike Russo, SEMI
The additional tariffs on IT products would also weaken investment in new technologies, especially in technologies which United States maintains a clear advantage over China and other countries, such as AI, Cloud, big data, and analytics. - Devi Keller, Semiconductor Industry Association
