The CHIPS act was the one singular act by the Biden administration that would fully align with the isolationist line put down by the cheeto in charge and his cronies, but no. Can't leave a single thing by the guy that defeated you, even if it is 100% in your own interest. The pettiness is astounding.
Not fully align. The manufacturers in the US wouldn't be top of the line the latest greatest most powerful chips. That would stay in Taiwan. If that capacity moved to the US, Taiwan wouldn't be as valuable to the US as an ally and trading partner.
Semiconductors are supposed to be excluded from tarrifs, but they have a powerful tool to make them more expensive for us to offset that 32% tariff.
