"TSMC" is about to announce an investment of $ 100 billion in the United States

Taiwan Simokikmander Managering (TSMC) plans to invest $ 100 billion to electronic chips in the United States during the next four years, a statement that US President Donald Trump is expected to reveal in the White House later on Monday, according to a source familiar with the case. “TSMC” is the world leader in the production of advanced semiconductors used in artificial intelligence, and it is the most important manufacturing partner of “Invidia” and “Apple”. This investment will improve Trump’s promise to make the United States a leader in the field of artificial intelligence. CCC Wei, CEO of “TSMC” for the White House later, will attend on Monday, according to a statement from the company. The statement said the company was looking forward to meeting the US president and discussing the common vision of innovation and growth in the semiconductor sector, without entering additional details on investment plans. There was no immediate comments from the White House about this step, while one of the informed report, which refuses to reveal his identity, that the details of the plan have not yet been officially disclosed. The expansion of US investment amid commercial pressure that “TSMC” has previously allocated $ 65 billion to invest in Chips production factories in Arizona, but it is not clear whether the new $ 100 billion package is included, or this is a new addition. The Wall Street Journal reported that the upcoming advertisement is within a broader strategy to support the US disk industry. However, the “TSMC” investments still need the approval of the Taiwanese government, as Taiwan officials confirmed that the government will accurately review any external investment in advanced chip technologies. The Taiwanese presidential spokesman did not comment on this step outside the official working hours. This announcement comes at a time when Trump studies the imposition of customs duties in large sectors that include semiconductor, wood, cars and medicines, to address what he considers to be global trade imbalances that harm the United States. Any substance can significantly affect Taiwan, which produces about 90% of the most advanced chips in the world, especially those used in artificial intelligence. Customs’ threats repeatedly criticized Taiwan, accusing him of stealing the US semiconductor industry, and threatening to impose custom duties on the slides abroad in a move aimed at promoting local manufacturing. US officials pushing this trend, especially with regard to basic technologies in competition between the United States and China. Trump prefers the imposition of customs duties to support the US disk industry instead of government subsidies, an approach that differs from the policy of former president Joe Biden, who approved the discs and science law in 2022 to stimulate the local industry. This law contributed to $ 6.6 billion TSMC grants to support the establishment of three factories in Phoenix. A US interest in obtaining the “Intel” factories has already contacted the Trump administration with “TSMC” to discuss the possibility of obtaining a controlling share in the “Intel” factories, according to Bloomberg reports. These discussions are still in their initial stages, but its purpose is to face the financial decline of “Intel”, which has encouraged them to take workers and reduce global expansion plans. During the first term of Trump, concerns about national security forced his administration to attract ‘TSMC’ to invest in the United States. When the company announced its advanced factory in Arizona for the first time in 2020, the Trump administration said that the factory chips will be used in various applications of artificial intelligence to F-35 fighters. Currently, the first factory of the company in Arizona came into effect, and its initial production exceeded the rates that exceeded the similar factories in Taiwan, which improved the capacity of the United States to compete with China in the semiconductor race.
