They could just become a European company. I'm just saying.

Or Canadian. Since they have quite a passionate investor there already
Oh, of course, my intent was more "quit the US".
They're built in Taiwan though right so realistically them being a US company is more to do with where their officers are based. So they really could just move.
It would screw over the people who work there of course.
The company are designers and engineers, not factory workers, they don't have staff in Taiwan, they put their orders there. Unless they move all the people, thry can't really move that easily.

This is pausing US sales only. Misleading title, only affects one country.
I genuinely hate ameri-centrism like this, so many articles have headlines like that
Yeah it was a bit worried about that for a moment and I've already given them £100.
Hey Framework, how about sending some laptops down under? I still am not able to buy any from the website here in NZ
Same here! I have one but can't get components any more because they locked down freight forwarding 🙁
I suppose you could just get someone to ship them to you. Of course then you would have to trust them.

Canary in the coal mine turns into Standard Operating Procedure.
During their keynote they said they were largely unaffected 😣
That was more than a day ago though. Trump’s lack of prudence ensures that companies can’t plan ahead. That includes the Taiwan based framework.
They were largely unaffected by the tariffs targeting China, because US trade policy distinguishes between mainland China and Taiwan. Problem was that Trump announced huge tariffs on everyone, including a 32% tariff on Taiwan.
Yah. Like I said. Lack of prudence with plenty of unpredictability on top.
Oh gosh, too fast for me to keep up with these tariffs
Why not add the tariff to the price? If someone in the US still wants it, they can buy it and pay the tariff.
I assume they will. The problem right now is how volatile and abrupt these policies are. If they make an adjustment now, sell a laptop at that price, and then tomorrow additional tariffs are implemented they may well end up with a loss on that sale to you. The pause is likely just to see where things will stabilize to.
By the time they calculate the result on their retail price and update the website the orange will probably change everything again.
They presumably assume they'd be selling so little that it wouldn't be worth the trouble.
They'll probably wait out this situation for a while and see what the competition does..
