Well, one of the three fabs did. The newer two fabs, including the one with the most advanced processes, started in '22 and '24 respectively; that was thanks to the Biden Admin, per TSMC.[0][1]

Biden, Democrats and the moderate Republicans that came together to support this deserve the credit here. It's game changing stuff, a big chunk of which could be on the chopping block if the extreme takes power again.

Past is prologue - if he couldn’t do it then, how could he do it now? He’s already said he’d repeal the IRA.

All he’s proposing is 10-20% universal tariffs that’ll raise the cost of off-season fruits and in-season coffee by 10-20%.
