Chip giant Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. plans to invest $100 billion in the United States, President Donald Trump announced Monday as he appeared with the company’s head at the White House. The world’s biggest semiconductor manufacturer produces products for U.S. companies including Apple, Intel and Nvidia.
Trump and TSMC’s chief executive officer C. C. Wei said the $100 billion is on top of the $65 billion that was already announced, including three plants in Arizona after the Biden administration offered billions in subsidies.
