Finally someone mentions TSMC, which is probably the most important thing for US, and TSMC is "moving" to US.

TSMC is important, but it is opening a single site with 2% of its existing, mainly Taiwan-based capacity in the US. TSMC total capacity in 2019 was 12 million 12-inch wafer starts

The new fab in Austin only has capacity for 240K (presumably 12 inch) wafers/yr, or 2% of TSMC total capacity.

That's just a part of the plan.
