Additionally, it directs agencies overseeing government contracts to review and verify American-origin claims for procured products, referring potential violators of the Buy American Act to the Department of Justice for action under the False Claims Act.

The Order concludes with standard general provisions detailing implementation subject to law and appropriations.

Furthermore, it mandates recommendations for a Victim Restoration Program using seized funds and requires the Secretary of State to engage diplomatically to compel foreign nations to curb such criminal activity or face U.S. consequences.

ADJUSTING IMPORTS OF SEMICONDUCTORS, SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT, AND THEIR DERIVATIVE PRODUCTS INTO THE UNITED STATES

This Presidential Proclamation, issued under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, addresses the finding that imports of semiconductors, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and their derivatives threaten U.S. national security due to insufficient domestic production capacity.

The President adopts a two-phase plan, beginning with directing negotiations with foreign jurisdictions while immediately imposing a 25 percent ad valorem tariff on a narrow category of advanced computing chips unless the importation supports U.S. technology supply chain buildout or domestic manufacturing.

The proclamation aims to reduce reliance on foreign supply chains essential for defense and critical infrastructure development.

Adjusting Imports of Processed Critical Minerals and Their Derivative Products into the United States

This Presidential Proclamation announces a finding, based on a report from the Secretary of Commerce under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, that imports of Processed Critical Minerals and their Derivative Products (PCMDPs) threaten U.S. national security due to excessive foreign reliance, supply chain insecurity, and domestic production decline. The President concurs with the finding and directs the Secretary of Commerce and the United States Trade Representative to jointly negotiate agreements with trading partners to adjust these imports, specifying that if satisfactory agreements are not reached within 180 days, alternative remedies like tariffs or minimum import prices may be considered.
