U.S. President Trump is set to announce details regarding the "Tariff Liberation Day" on the afternoon of February 2nd, Eastern Time. Recently, TSMC Chairman Wei Zhejia announced a $100 billion investment in the United States, which Trump described as a historic investment, praising Wei as a legend in the business world. Moreover, TSMC plans to build three more fabs and other facilities in the U.S., with a total investment amounting to $165 billion. In a recent interview, Trump mentioned that Wei Zhejia might invest between $200 billion to $300 billion in the future. He emphasized that the introduced tariff policy will encourage many companies to return to the United States.
The President of the United States is closely monitoring the arrival of the "tariff liberation day." The U.S. Treasury Secretary confirmed in an interview that relevant details will be announced on the afternoon of the 2nd, Eastern Time. With TSMC announcing an expansion of its investments in the U.S., the President's praise for the Chairman has been on the rise, and the investment amount has recently increased again.
The Chairman of TSMC announced at the White House that the company will reinvest $100 billion in the U.S., to which the President remarked that this investment is of historic significance. He praised the Chairman's influence in the chip and business sectors and regarded him as the most important figure in the meeting. In addition to the original plans for wafer fabs, TSMC intends to build three additional wafer fabs, two advanced packaging plants, and one R&D center in the U.S., with a total investment amount reaching $165 billion.
However, the President seems particularly fond of increasing the investment amount. In a mid-March interview, he mentioned that the Chairman brought in $200 billion in investments and recently reiterated the issue of TSMC's investments during a press conference at the White House. He stated that within his first hundred days in office, he has achieved multiple accomplishments and believes that the tariff liberation will bring immense wealth to the U.S. He noted that many automotive manufacturers have returned to build factories in the U.S. He emphasized that, besides the automotive industry, Taiwan’s chip companies are also further investing, and more TSMC funds will be seen entering the U.S. market.
