The US has "dropped the ball" on chip manufacturing over the years , allowing China and other Asian hubs to steam ahead.

Semiconductors are central to powering everything from washing machines to iPhones , and military jets to electric vehicles.

Today , it is in Asia that the most advanced chips are being produced at phenomenal scale.

Trump has doubled down on tariffs, ordering a national security trade investigation into the semiconductor sector.

The longer-term impact on the industry is likely to be a renewed focus on domestic manufacturing in many of the world's key economies: China , Europe , the US .

Some companies could look for new markets: Huawei expanded into Europe and emerging markets in the face of export controls.
