India, April 13 -- United States Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated on Sunday that smartphones, computers, other electronic products and semiconductors will be subject to separate sector-based tariffs.

In an interview with ABC's "This Week," Lutnick also said that the tariffs would be imposed in approximately a month and that pharmaceutical tariffs would be imposed within the next month.

"We can't be relying on China for fundamental things that we need: our medicines and our semiconductors need to be built in America," added Lutnick.

This announcement comes after Donald Trump's administration on Friday excluded some electronic products and semiconductors from retaliatory tariffs.
