Trump Targets Unallocated CHIPS Act Funds, Shifts to Tariffs

The Trump administration is moving to redirect unallocated CHIPS Act funds while leaning on tariff threats to push chipmakers toward US investment. TSMC retained its $6.6 billion grant, but tariff pressure has prompted it to raise its pledged US investment from $65 billion to more than $165 billion. Analysts note this shifts reshoring costs onto private capital, though tariffs build manufacturing capacity far more slowly than direct subsidies.
Why now: TSMC's dramatically expanded US investment pledge and the administration's policy pivot have major implications for the semiconductor supply chain.
