Opinionated summary:

  • Despite Republican assurances, Trump called the CHIPS Act “horrible” and pushed for its scrapping, creating chaos for an industry already struggling with uncertainty.
  • The Trump administration has already sabotaged the program by laying off key staff and considering changes to the projects, showing its disdain for U.S. industrial growth.
  • Industry leaders, who have already committed billions to U.S. chip production, are now left in limbo, thanks to Trump’s shortsighted, destructive rhetoric.

    Isn’t this kinda a war declaration on his own country? I mean the production and access to chips today and future to uni- and multipolar power is like nuclear technology and bomb of the 20th century…

    It’s like THE race for power / safety in modern standards xD this would mean trump could be convicted in the casuality chain that he really is a foreign agent in front of the justice system(s)
