U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he warned Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) that it would incur a tax penalty of up to 100% if it fails to build its new factories in the United States.
“TSMC, I gave them no money … all I did was say, if you don't build your plant here, you're going to pay a big tax,” Trump said during his remarks. TSMC declined to comment on his statement.
In March, TSMC, the world's largest contract chipmaker, announced plans to invest an additional $100 billion in the United States, which would include the construction of five new chip facilities over the coming years. This move is seen as a significant boost for domestic semiconductor production.
Earlier on Tuesday, Reuters reported that TSMC could be facing a penalty exceeding $1 billion as part of a U.S. export control investigation. The probe centers on a chip produced by TSMC that was later incorporated into an AI processor used by Huawei Technologies.
Trump’s remarks underscore his administration’s broader strategy to incentivize U.S. manufacturing and reduce reliance on foreign production amid escalating trade tensions and concerns over national security. The criticism of previous administrations and strong stance on domestic industry highlight the current U.S. policy to ensure that key technology sectors remain under American control.
