$100 Billion Investment in U.S. Manufacturing Announced by Semiconductor Giant

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) has announced a staggering $100 billion investment to expand its chip manufacturing operations in the United States, further solidifying America’s dominance in the semiconductor industry.

• TSMC’s total investment in the U.S. now reaches $165 billion.

• The expansion includes three new chip plants, two packaging facilities, and an R&D center in Arizona.

• President Trump’s tariffs on foreign-made chips ensured this investment stayed in America.

Speaking at the White House on Monday, President Donald Trump emphasized the strategic importance of the deal, both economically and for national security. “Without the chips and semiconductors, nothing runs today,” Trump stated. “You can’t buy a car without them, you can’t a radio, a television, you can’t get anything.”

Had TSMC continued to manufacture its chips overseas, Trump noted, the products would have faced tariffs of 25%-50%, making domestic production the clear choice. His administration’s strong stance on trade has incentivized companies to build in America rather than relying on foreign suppliers.

TSMC CEO C.C. Wei confirmed that the company’s investment will go toward expanding its current Phoenix, Arizona plant while adding multiple new facilities. “We thought it was very important, obviously business-wise, but we thought even in terms of national security, to have this large percentage of the chips, semiconductors, and other things made in the United States,” Trump said.

TSMC’s move to the U.S. began during Trump’s first term when the company announced an initial $12 billion investment in Arizona. Since then, TSMC has dramatically expanded, bringing its total investment to $65 billion before this latest $100 billion boost.

This investment underscores the effectiveness of Trump’s America-first economic policies. By ensuring that critical industries remain within U.S. borders, the administration is safeguarding American jobs, strengthening the supply chain, and countering potential threats from China.

With semiconductors serving as the backbone of modern technology, this latest deal is a monumental step in securing America’s economic future.
