Trump Administration in Talks With Intel and TSMC to Manufacture Chips in the U.S.

The Trump Administration is in talks with Intel and TSMC to strengthen U.S. production of semiconductors, reports the WSJ.

Trump administration officials are in talks with Intel Corp., the largest American chip maker, and with TSMC, to build factories in the U.S., according to correspondence viewed by The Wall Street Journal and people familiar with the discussions.

The coronavirus pandemic has emphasized the importance of local manufacturing. The inability to produce silicon in times of crisis could seriously disadvantage the United States. Officials are particularly concerned about dependence on Taiwan, an island which China claims as its own.
