Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) announced plans to invest $100 billion in bolstering chip manufacturing in the U.S., bringing its total investment in the country to $165 billion. The company will build five new fabrication facilities in Arizona, supporting the Trump administration’s goal of making the U.S. an artificial intelligence hub.
President Trump praised TSMC’s investment as a significant move, highlighting the economic and national security implications of advancing semiconductor production in the U.S. The president has been pushing for the return of semiconductor manufacturing to the country, accusing Taiwan of stealing U.S. chip manufacturing business and imposing tariffs on semiconductor imports.
TSMC’s finance chief expressed confidence in the new White House administration’s support for the company’s U.S. ambitions. The semiconductor giant had previously committed $12 billion to build its first U.S. chip factory in Arizona, later increasing that investment to $65 billion with a third factory. The company also received a $6.6 billion subsidy from the U.S. Commerce Department.
Nvidia, one of TSMC’s clients, stated that it will leverage TSMC’s global manufacturing network to enhance its supply agility and resilience. The partnership between TSMC and Nvidia reflects the growing importance of semiconductor production in the U.S. and its role in driving innovation and economic growth in the technology sector.
