TradingKey - Under pressure from U.S. tariff threats, TSMC has pledged an additional $100 billion investment in the United States.
On Monday, TSMC, the global leader in chip manufacturing, announced plans to invest an additional $100 billion in its U.S. facilities to support President Trump's goal of boosting domestic manufacturing. This comes on top of TSMC's previously announced $65 billion investment in the U.S.
Trump has repeatedly threatened to impose tariffs on chips produced overseas, and senior U.S. officials have consistently reiterated their commitment to promoting domestic manufacturing. This has forced many companies, such as Apple, OpenAI, and Meta, to comply and commit to investments—TSMC is no exception.
Will TSMC truly be able to avoid Trump's tariff threats in the future? When asked about this topic on Monday, Trump explicitly stated, "If they do it here, there will be no tariffs."
