The administration announced late Friday that some electronics were exempt.
President Donald Trump on Sunday said there will be no exceptions for tariffs on electronics and that he would clarify his administration's policy on Monday.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced late Friday that some smartphones, computers, chips and other electronics would be exempted from tariffs, but Trump's top economic advisers hit the Sunday talk shows to explain the policy, saying that tariffs against electronics would be coming in the next month or two.
“There was no Tariff ‘exemption’ announced on Friday," Trump posted Sunday afternoon, and that semiconductor tariffs will “just be moving to a different Tariff ‘bucket.’”
In a new post on his media platform, President Donald Trump said that the U.S. is "doing really well on our TARIFF POLICY."
"Very exciting for America, and the World!!! It is moving along quickly," Trump said in Friday's post.

President Donald Trump said he's negotiating with other countries on tariffs, but China still isn't one of them.
When asked by ABC News if there are any negotiations with China as this trade war ramps up, U.S. Trade Rep. Jamieson Greer said, "not at this point."
China's Ministry of Finance announced Friday that Beijing will increase tariffs on all U.S. goods from 84% to 125%.
China raising its tariffs is the latest tit for tat with the two sides locked in a faceoff.

China's Ministry of Finance announced Friday that Beijing will increase tariffs on all U.S. goods from 84% to 125%, in response to the U.S. "imposition of abnormally high tariffs on China."
The new rate will come into force on Saturday, the ministry's announcement said.
The White House this week said that the rate of tariffs on Chinese goods was now at 145%.
"Given that at the current tariff level, there is no market acceptance for U.S. goods exported to China, if the U.S. continues to impose tariffs on Chinese goods exported to the United States, China will ignore it," the Chinese Finance Ministry's statement said.

Chinese president Xi Jinping warned Friday that President Donald Trump's tariffs will "isolate" the U.S. from the international community.
During his meeting with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez in Beijing, Xi said, "There is no winner in a tariff war, and going against the world will only result in self-isolation."
"For more than 70 years, China's development has always relied on self-reliance and hard work," he added, as quoted by the official state Xinhua News Agency. "It has never relied on anyone's gifts, let alone been afraid of any unreasonable suppression."
"No matter how the external environment changes, China will have firm confidence, maintain determination and concentrate on doing its own things well," Xi continued.
Xi also took the opportunity to play up China's ties with the European Union -- a relationship that suffered major setbacks in the midst of COVID-19 and Russia's war on Ukraine. But Trump's return to office -- and his sweeping tariffs campaign -- has raised the possibility of a Beijing-Brussels thaw.
"China has always regarded the European Union as an important pole of the multipolar world and is a major power that clearly supports the unity and development of the EU," he said.
"Under the current situation, it is of great practical significance to jointly build the four major partnerships of peace, growth, reform and civilization between China and Europe," Xi added.
"China and Europe should adhere to the positioning of partners and adhere to open cooperation."
