This basically just means Europe wont have older chips.
TSMC is already producing a significant percentage of their chips in Arizona. And they've even slated ~30% of their total production of 2nm chips and better will be produced in USA by 2028-2029.
You mean the TSMC factory that it's workers hate and has been facing heavy delays and power outages???
