President Trump's Taiwan Deal Could Give America Dominance In Microchip Industry
Share this @internewscast.com

President Donald Trump is trying to strike a deal to give the United States of America dominance in the semiconductor/microchip industry, and the deal involves the nation of Taiwan, a longtime foe of the Chinese Communist Party.

In an effort to further boost the American semiconductor sector, President Trump is advocating for the merger of GlobalFoundries (GF) with United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC), Taiwan’s second-largest semiconductor producer.

This action comes after TSMC, another major chipmaker, aligned with the Trump administration’s tariff-induced strategy, which led to the company investing over $100 billion in the U.S. Although TSMC has established facilities in Arizona, it still keeps its most advanced technology in Taiwan, posing a risk to U.S. supply chains critical for defense and infrastructure. GF argues that TSMC has a global monopoly, and merging GF with UMC would be the quickest way for the U.S. to access Taiwan’s essential chip technology.

Consequently, the new entity would operate as a fully U.S.-based company, offering a strong alternative to TSMC. GF has been attempting to acquire UMC for ten years without success due to UMC’s previous resistance. However, the situation has changed—the Trump administration desires the relocation of Taiwan’s semiconductor prowess to the U.S. and has engaged with the Taiwanese government, securing their backing, thereby making the merger seem inevitable.

GF is expected to take the lead in this merger. As the world’s fourth-largest chipmaker, UMC has been arrogant, and its management has repeatedly stated that they have no intention of building labs in the U.S. Nevertheless, the Trump administration is firm in reclaiming America’s leadership in the semiconductor industry by incorporating Taiwan’s technology. In the merged entity, it aims to ensure that GF holds dominance. The U.S. government and GF hope that the CEO of the merged company will be an American, and the plan is to first merge and then gradually acquire UMC.

The proposed merger is a milestone in a broader effort by the Trump administration’s efforts to revive the U.S. semiconductor industry. The combination of GF and UMC will leapfrog to become the world’s second-largest player, just after TSMC, weakening TSMC’s monopoly position and significantly reducing America’s reliance on Taiwan’s semiconductor industry.

Just a few months into his presidency, Trump has already made TSMC compromise, and now he’s pushing for GF to merge with UMC. His vision of reclaiming dominance over the global chipmaking industry is steadily coming to fruition, and the American semiconductor industry revival is just on the horizon,” the insider stated.

These developments might seem refreshing for Americans considering the way the previous Biden administration scared the semiconductor industry with its Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
