May 15 (UPI) -- Leading electronics manufacturers in Japan and Taiwan are facing a crisis because of U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to possibly place 25 percent tariffs on another $300 billion worth of "Chinese" goods, according to a Japanese press report.
The Nikkei reported Wednesday the tariffs would hit 3,805 items, including key consumer products like smartphones. Top Japanese, Taiwanese and South Korean mobile phone manufacturers with plants in China could be heavily hit with tariffs, according to the report.
