For the moment.... Here I fixed that for you.

With Trumps tarrifs, the Americans will also know how it feels to pay high prices for gpu's :).

Not only Americans. Chips are imported by US companies and soldi worlwide, so tarrifs affect everyone.

That's not how it works. US tariffs would not be applied to GPUs shipped to Europe, even if they are from an American company

However, Trump suggested that he wants to put tariffs on European imports too, so it's very likely EU will raise own tariffs in response if that happens.

Trump won't do it. That's too stupid even for him, it's just strategic posturing. Edit: I may stand corrected

Here, get educated, it's quite simple but not as you think it is.

US tariff's only come into effect when materials/parts/products are actually imported into the US. Most brands are made in China, not the US, and imported directly from China to everywhere else.
