View this post on Instagram 🇺🇸🇺🇸 Taiwanese tech giant TSMC has unveiled plans to build a $12 billion factory in Arizona to produce high tech chips, announcing the move just days after President Donald Trump and chipmakers partnered in a drive to build more chip manufacturing in America. Reuters reports that the Taiwanese firm Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC), the largest contract chipmaker in the world, plans to build a $12 billion factory in Arizona in what appears to be a win for the Trump administration’s attempts to bring more global tech supply chains to the United States. The factory will reportedly create over 1,600 jobs and comes as President Trump has criticized China’s trade practices and Beijing’s handling of the Wuhan coronavirus. U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross stated that the deal was “another indication that President Trump’s policy agenda has led to a renaissance in American manufacturing.” TSMC commented: “This project is of critical, strategic importance to a vibrant and competitive U.S. semiconductor ecosystem that enables leading U.S. companies to fabricate their cutting-edge semiconductor products within the United States.”A post shared by Breitbart (@wearebreitbart) on May 15, 2020 at 11:39am PDT
