Trump reportedly plans to announce $100 billion chip deal with TSMC.
The Wall Street Journal reports that this afternoon, we’ll hear about how the chipmaker that Apple, Nvidia, and many others rely on “intends to invest $100 billion in chip manufacturing plants in the U.S. over the next four years,” likely linked to the president’s tariffs.
Sometimes these announcements feature news that isn’t quite new, like the Stargate Project’s first datacenter that was already under construction, and Apple’s $500 billion plan that the WSJ said was “mostly already in the books.” TSMC already has a pricey and delayed project under way in Arizona, so we’ll see how this announcement turns out.
