Apple’s chipmaking partner, TSMC, is reportedly about to announce a $100 billion investment in US-based manufacturing.

Mass production of Apple chips began there last month, Apple said. President Donald Trump expressed doubts last year about federal support for the TSMC project under President Joe Biden. After Apple’s announcement, the White House credited Trump’s ...

Apple says it is TSMC's largest customer. TSMC currently employs 2,000 workers to manufacture chips in the U.S.

President Donald Trump wants to kill the CHIPS Act, which provides $6.6 billion in federal subsidies for TSMC's $65 billion Phoenix semiconductor fabrication complex. He claimed that TSMC has not received money from the program,

Apple is TSMC’s largest customer at this complex, which employs around 3,000 workers who make the technologically advanced chips that power computers, phones, industrial machinery and more. The TSMC complex has begun commercial production. Need a break?

Trump said TSMC’s plans would create “many thousands” of high-paying jobs and described the production of AI chips within the US as a “matter of economic security” for the country.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing will again expand its Phoenix complex, to a new $165 billion stake. The move aims to avoid tariffs.

The investment will go into building three new fabrication plants in Phoenix, Arizona, as well as two packaging facilities and a research center.

Striking a four-year deal with President Donald Trump, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) plans to invest $100 billion in chip manufacturing plants in the US, sources told The Wall Street Journal.

Enforcing the tariffs on Taiwan would be difficult, and they wouldn’t necessarily be enough to meaningfully increase semiconductor manufacturing in the United States, experts told WIRED.

Trump’s proposed chip tariffs could hit TSMC, escalating tensions in the US-China trade war and impacting global semiconductor supply.
