Taiwan rejects 40% chip shift to US, vows growth at home
Taiwan’s vice premier said moving 40% of the island’s semiconductor capacity to the United States is “impossible,” emphasizing that Taiwan’s chip ecosystem will continue to grow at home while expanding its presence in the U.S.; Washington has pressed for more onshore production, and last month a tariff deal reduced Taiwan’s export tariffs to 15% as Taiwan increases U.S. investment; TSMC is also investing heavily in Arizona.
