In a significant move for the semiconductor industry, President Donald Trump and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) revealed plans for a substantial investment in US chip production. The Taiwanese chip giant is set to invest a minimum of $100 billion in its manufacturing operations within the United States over the "next short period of time." This commitment marks a crucial step in bolstering domestic semiconductor capabilities, addressing ongoing supply chain challenges, and enhancing national security.
With this latest announcement, TSMC's total investment in the US will reach an impressive $165 billion. The investment is expected to create thousands of jobs and stimulate economic growth in various regions. As the demand for semiconductors continues to surge, this initiative underscores the importance of local manufacturing in reducing reliance on foreign supply chains.
