Trump announces $100B investment from Taiwan semiconductor manufacturer
At the White House, President Donald Trump announced Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) will be investing at least $100 billion in the U.S. to build semiconductor manufacturing facilities.
Trump was joined by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and C.C. Wei, the company's CEO, as he spoke in the Roosevelt Room.
"The most powerful AI chips in the world will be made right here in America, and it'll be a big percentage of the chips made by his company," Trump said. The president said the investment will go toward the construction of five facilities in Arizona that he said would create thousands of jobs.

Wei said today's announcement brings the total investment from TSMC in the U.S. to $165 billion.
"We're pleased to have an opportunity to meet with the President and look forward to discussing our shared vision for innovation and growth in the semiconductor industry, as well as exploring ways to bolster the technology sector along with our customers," TSMC said in a statement to ABC News.
