Summary

The Biden administration finalized a $6.6 billion award to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) for its Arizona chip factories, securing CHIPS Act funding before President-elect Trump takes office.

TSMC plans to invest $65 billion in three Phoenix fabs, creating thousands of jobs and bolstering U.S. semiconductor production.

The funds, part of the $52.7 billion CHIPS Act, aim to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign-made chips.

Despite Trump’s criticism of the subsidies, the agreement is legally binding, ensuring continued progress on the largest foreign investment in U.S. manufacturing history.

      Well then you get Kamala for the rest of time period. Trump will be older than Biden when the former leaves office.

      Biden also has a cabinet that is for the American people. Trump so far is trying to push in the island of misfit dolls as his cabinet.
