[Trump: The U.S. Will Soon Capture Nearly 50% of the Chip Market] According to Golden Finance, on April 24, U.S. President Trump stated on the 23rd that the United States will soon capture nearly 50% of the chip market. He emphasized that if chip companies do not manufacture in the U.S., they will face very high tariffs in a year and a half or two years. U.S. Secretary of Commerce Lutenick noted that the U.S. previously only held about 3% to 4% of the chip market, despite having the largest demand for chips. Lutenick said that under Trump's directive, the U.S. is requiring wafer fabs to return to domestic manufacturing and expects $1 trillion worth of wafer fabs to be established in the U.S. Lutenick mentioned that this is not about tech giants purchasing chips but about the production and manufacturing of chips. Lutenick highlighted commitments such as Micron Technology pledging to invest $200 billion and TSMC committing to invest $165 billion, with $500 billion in funds from Taiwan expected to flow into the U.S. Lutenick also stated during a congressional hearing on the 23rd that semiconductor industry investments in the U.S. during Trump's term are expected to reach $1 trillion.
