America's Trump Claims Taiwan Semiconductor Wants to Invest $30 Billion, Seen as Preparing for Chip Tariffs
Grandon Review August 6th|Tianfeng Securities Analyst Guo Ming-chi stated that America's Trump claims Taiwan Semiconductor wants to invest $30 billion. Taiwan Semiconductor's official investment amount is $16.5 billion, while Trump previously mentioned an amount of $20 billion. Trump further increases the investment amount to $30 billion, which seems to be warming up for the upcoming chip tariffs, consistent with Trump's own approach of "first proposing a very high number and then talking it down". Recently, market rumors have emerged that the US is demanding Taiwan Semiconductor invest 49% in Intel or an additional $40 billion, totaling $56.5 billion, far exceeding Trump's claimed $30 billion, which represents market rumors as non-factual.
