US to launch domestic production of Nvidia AI supercomputers

The U.S. is launching into the AI infrastructure race and NVIDIA is leading the way

The tech giant says it's bringing production of its AI supercomputers to American soil for the

first time, partnering with manufacturers to build new facilities in Arizona and Texas

to create the engines of the world. NVIDIA CEO and founder Jensen Huang said

adding American manufacturing helps us better meet the incredible and growing demand for AI

chips and supercomputers, strengthens our supply chain and boosts our resiliency. The White House is calling the announcement the Trump effect in action, saying it's a win for

both the U.S. economy and national security. NVIDIA kicked off the week with Monday's

announcement that highlights construction is already underway in Phoenix at a site run by

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. TSMC is facing local backlash in the form of a class

action lawsuit from former workers in Arizona who claim the company has an anti-American bias

The lawsuit was filed last November NVIDIA says more factories are coming to Houston and Dallas with operations expected to start in the next 15 months Back on March 3rd President Donald Trump and TSMC CEO announced plans to

expand the company's U.S. presence with five new factories and a $165 billion investment from the

federal government. Weeks later, Trump imposed tariffs on several countries, including 32 percent

on Taiwan and 145 percent on China before exempting certain tech products like phones

and computer chips. This past Sunday, Reuters reports Trump told reporters more semiconductor

tariffs could be on the way. In a true social post that same day, he said his administration

is reviewing the entire electronic supply chain, looking for ways to bring more manufacturing back

to the U.S. Trump wrote, we will not be held hostage by other countries, especially hostile

trading nations like China. Those days are over. NVIDIA says its U.S. expansion could add thousands

of jobs and generate up to $500 billion in value over the next four years. For Straight Arrow
