The AP source title is: Trump’s commerce secretary says new electronics tariff exemptions are temporary, chip tariffs coming
The part that's been denied is that the exclusion is permanent. Since Friday, electronics from China would be subject to 20% of the fentanyl tariff and nothing more. It will be this way until Trump invents another tariff just for electronics. I believe this is what most commentators expected back in Friday, but there must be talks of capitulation and Trump couldn't stand to lose face.
Probably just investor activists floating the idea to test the water. They've been wanting to sell Intel for parts since the bad quarter and Pat (former CEO) being evicted is part of this plan.
