TSMC Assures No Change in US Investment Plan after the Election

TSMC has affirmed that the company investment plan would remain unchanged under the new U.S. administration, the company responded to the question on Donald Trump’s recent victory in the presidential election.

TSMC is the world’s largest producer and supplier of semiconductors to major tech companies like Apple and Nvidia, the company is investing $65 million into a new manufacturing plant within the state of Arizona, United States.

During the campaign trail, Trump has accused Taiwan of stealing American chip business.

Under the Joe Biden administration, TSMC was awarded $6.6 billion in subsidy for an advanced chip manufacturing plant in Phoenix, Arizona in a preliminary agreement with the Department of Commerce.
