Oregon

Oregon's economy is anchored by Intel's massive Hillsboro campus — the company's largest global manufacturing site — and a diverse agricultural sector that feeds the world. Intel's $36B expansion in Oregon depends on specialized equipment from the Netherlands (ASML) and Japan (Tokyo Electron) now subject to tariffs, adding hundreds of millions to construction costs just as the US pushes for chip independence. The broader Silicon Forest corridor (Synopsys, Mentor Graphics, Lam Research) faces similar input cost increases. Oregon's Willamette Valley is one of the most diverse agricultural regions in the US, producing hazelnuts (99% of US production), grass seed, berries, wine grapes, and Christmas trees — many of these niche crops face retaliatory tariffs. Columbia River wheat exports to Asia, shipped through Portland's grain terminals, face retaliatory barriers. Nike, headquartered in Beaverton, designs in Oregon but manufactures in Vietnam, China, and Indonesia — tariffs on imported footwear directly raise prices on Nike products. Oregon's timber industry, heavily dependent on Asian lumber markets, has seen demand drop under trade tensions. The Port of Portland has lost container service entirely, a casualty partly attributed to trade disruption.
