Taiwan’s TSMC plans to delay its chip plant challenge in Japan and prioritize operations in the US to keep away from tariffs imposed by President Trump, the Wall Avenue Journal reported on Friday.
Nonetheless, TSMC mentioned in an announcement that its funding plans within the U.S. wouldn’t affect present funding plans in different areas.
“TSMC does not comment on market rumor,” the assertion mentioned, including the corporate’s world manufacturing enlargement technique “is based on customers’ needs, business opportunities, operating efficiency, the level of government support and cost economic considerations.”
