President Donald Trump is expected to announce a $100 billion investment from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing to bolster chip manufacturing over the next four years in the U.S, NBC has learned.
The Wall Street Journal first reported the news.
TSMC, which supplies semiconductors to the likes of Nvidia and Apple for artificial intelligence use, would help support the Trump administration’s efforts to make the U.S. an artificial intelligence hub. Last month, Trump announced a multibillion-dollar AI infrastructure project with Oracle , OpenAI and Softbank.
Trump has repeatedly called out and accused Taiwan of stealing the U.S. chip manufacturing business and touted tariffs on semiconductor imports. The company’s finance chief Wendell Huang told CNBC in January that he was confident the new White House administration would continue funding the company’s U.S. ambitions.
TSMC has already made strides to expand its footprint in the U.S, committing $12 billion in 2020 to build its first U.S. chip factory in Arizona. It has since raised its investment in the state to about $65 billion with a third factory and gained U.S. government support through a $6.6 billion subsidy from the U.S. Commerce Department.
About time!
Relocate all their factories and best-brightest to the US.
STRIP IT BARE!
FEDEX the keys to Xi.:->
Should a been years ago.
Morris Chang never thought for one moment that Taiwan is to close to China for Tawain to be make so much of the world’s semiconductors? It doesn’t pass the laugh test. Really high IQ people can lack simple common sense.
How dumb are you?
“ IF, I have my facts right...
Biden offered up $6.6 billion U S dollars in grants to entice TSMC to build in AZ.”
Your facts are 100% wrong.
I didn’t read anything after that.
Trump administration made the deal with TMSC to build in Arizona during his first administration.
Intel, New Albany Ohio announced they delayed opening (originally 2025) plant until 2030

It’s amazing what a person might know about current events in the state that they live in, right?
You’re right. I confused the two. Thanks
For your listening and dining pleasure...
Posting where I am located, in relation to TSMC’s fabrication facilities.
You are such a moron.
Later I read the rest of your comment and it wasn’t bad.
I’m not sure why you double down on your mistake.
Trump made the deal and there’s already active fab in Phoenix.
Just fyi

YOUR comprehension is lacking. I TEXTED that Biden (administration) offered TSMC 6.6 billion U S dollars in grants, but correcting myself... it was actually in DIRECT FUNDING.
Try reading the ARTICLE that I SOURCED directly from TSMC. Once again, the SOURCE: https://pr.tsmc.com/english/news/3122
Why don’t you try being kind here at Free Republic, and not such an arrogant prick? You’re stinking up the place.
I did my homework and researched the LOCAL NEWS (AZ CENTRAL) then posted from memory offering a qualifier about my MEMORY, that you took as an opening to demonstrate that yes indeed, you - are - an - arrogant - PRICK!

It makes no sense because of the vulnerability of that supply line.
Are you an idiot?
Trump admin made the deal with TSMC.
Biden admin later did the Chip Act. after TSMC was already in AZ.
The 6B from USG, which TSMC didn’t need was for the big guy and the slush funds.
Trump brought TSMC to the US, not Biden.
You could say the same for Japan, S. Korea etc…

I thought I was clear about you not contacting me here at FR, for the rest of your life. (You’re kind of adorable in a disobedient/ relentless way.)

Don’t CONFLATE what happened with the 6.6 B.
It incentivized/ ENTICED (there’s that confusing word again) TSMC to build CHIP-FAB 3.
HELLO! McFLY!
I LIVE in AZ and have been driving by the TSMC complex using the Carefree Hwy - AZ 79, and Loop 303, since it began rising from the ground up.

You’re first sentence indicated Biden brought TMSC to the US, not Trump.
And you said correct me if I’m wrong.

There’s NOTHING ambiguous about my statement. TSMC DID build a CHIP-FAB with 6.6 B in DIRECT FUNDING. Ready for it, because they were ENTICED with a financial sweetener.

I think you meant YOUR.
Embarrassing, when YOU’RE criticizing someone’s “poor writing”.
Just saying.
