- 1Trump Targets Unallocated CHIPS Act Funds, Pivots to Tariffs●Trump targets unallocated CHIPS Act funds,pivoting to tariffs. TSMC kept its $6.6B grant,but tariff threats raised its U
The Trump administration is moving to redirect unallocated CHIPS Act funds while relying on tariff threats rather than subsidies to push chipmaking onshore. TSMC retained its $6.6 billion federal grant, but pressure from tariff threats led it to raise its total US investment pledge from $65 billion to more than $165 billion. Commentators note this shifts reshoring costs onto private capital, though tariffs are seen as a far slower route to building semiconductor capacity than direct subsidies.
