TSMC $100 billion additional Arizona investment $265 billion total 2026

Trump announced the increase on Truth Social July 17, crediting his tariff policy for pulling leading-edge chip production onto US soil.

TSMC adds $100 billion beyond its earlier Arizona pledges, per Trump's July 17 post.
Total TSMC commitment to build chips in America now stands at $265 billion.
Trump says no leading-edge chips were made in America before his administration took office.

Why it matters: A company's investment decision does not become a president's policy victory merely because he claims it.
