Here's your T&B Tech Minute for Monday, April 14th. I'm Victoria Craig for the Wall Street Journal.

A rollback of tariffs on the tech sector sent the NASDAQ higher today. Shares of hardware makers like Apple and Micron were boosted by an exemption from sweeping U.S. tariffs on smartphones, computers, and memory chips that the Trump administration quietly announced

over the weekend. The relief might be short-lived, though. President Trump declared on his

truth social platform that, quote, nobody is getting off the hook. And the Commerce Secretary

said separate levies will begin in a couple of months as part of an investigation into the

semiconductor trade as it pertains to

national security. Meanwhile, NVIDIA raised the Made in America flag today as it seeks to shield itself

from the impact of those looming chip tariffs. The company says it'll make its artificial intelligence

supercomputers entirely in the U.S. To do it, the company has commissioned more than a million

square feet of manufacturing space dedicated to producing and testing its Blackwell chips in Arizona

and supercomputers in Texas. Invitya has set a goal of producing up to $500 billion worth of

AI infrastructure in America within the next four years.

And finally, META and the Federal Trade Commission made their opening statements in a long-simmering antitrust dispute today.

The trial could result in a forced breakup that would see META sell off WhatsApp and Instagram.

That's because the FTC alleges Mes meta has an illegal monopoly on social media.

Meta, though, says that's a fundamental misunderstanding about how people use social media.

The company says its platforms face sizable competition from places like YouTube and TikTok.

The trial in Washington is scheduled to last for the next eight weeks.
