BERLIN, Aug 7 (Reuters) - German chipmaker Infineon

said on Thursday it could not speculate on possible

semiconductor tariffs following a recent announcement by the

U.S. government, as no details have been disclosed yet.

President Donald Trump said on Wednesday the United States

would impose a tariff of about 100% on imports of semiconductors

but offered up a big exemption - it will not apply to companies

that are manufacturing in the U.S. or have committed to do so.

Infineon added in its statement that it would review the

trade measures once full details are released and take

appropriate action.
