Trump, TSMC announce $100 billion investment | U.S. chip plants | Arizona main beneficiary | N18G

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) announced an investment of at least $100 billion in the United States to expand its semiconductor production. The investment will fund five new advanced fabrication facilities, with a significant portion directed to Arizona, where TSMC has already invested heavily. This expansion, which follows a prior $65 billion commitment during President Biden's administration, includes three new fabrication plants, two advanced packaging facilities, and a research and development center, creating approximately 40,000 construction jobs over the next four years. TSMC's CEO, C.C. Wei, stated the investment would support advancements in AI and smartphones. Taiwanese officials have said they will review the investment to ensure it aligns with Taiwan’s semiconductor interests, considering the sector's competitiveness. There are concerns that shifting too much production abroad could weaken Taiwan’s "Silicon Shield," its dominant role in chipmaking, which is seen as a key geopolitical asset amid tensions with China.
