TAIPEI -- The time has come for many key suppliers behind Apple, Google and Amazon -- the most valuable companies on the planet -- to make emergency plans to move some production out of China as U.S. President Donald Trump escalates a trade war that risks hitting electronics makers hard.
Trump on Friday said tariffs covering an additional $267 billion of Chinese imports would be "ready to go on short notice," on top of a $200 billion round already on the way. The most notable targets for escalation would be electronics, especially a wide range of Apple devices, which had been spared before.
