Nvidia announced on Monday that it will look “to design and build factories that, for the first time, will produce NVIDIA AI supercomputers entirely in the U.S.” in what could be a massive win for President Donald Trump as he pushes tech companies to manufacture on American soil.
The U.S.-based multinational tech corporation designs graphics processing units (GPUs) — the chips that help power artificial intelligence (AI) programs, such as ChatGPT. Nvidia, which currently outsources production of its chips, said that it is partnering with other companies “to build and test NVIDIA Blackwell chips in Arizona and AI supercomputers in Texas.”
“Within the next four years, NVIDIA plans to produce up to half a trillion dollars of AI infrastructure in the United States through partnerships with TSMC, Foxconn, Wistron, Amkor and SPIL,” Nvidia said in a statement. “These world-leading companies are deepening their partnership with NVIDIA, growing their businesses while expanding their global footprint and hardening supply chain resilience.”
The announcement was made as Trump doubled down on his trade war with China while seeking tariff deals with other countries around the globe. Some of Nvidia’s main partners, such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and Samsung, are attempting to navigate the president’s hefty tariffs. Nvidia outsources production of its chips to TSMC and Samsung, which manufacture the chips in Taiwan, South Korea, and the United States.
Nvidia stock jumped nearly 3% in pre-market trading on Monday.
Trump has focused on moving tech production to the United States since the outset of his second term in office. Last month, C.C. Wei, chairman of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), joined Trump at the White House and announced a $100 billion investment in chip-manufacturing plants in America. Trump said the investment in the United States “was very important, obviously business-wise, but we thought even in terms of national security.”
Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang said on Monday, “The engines of the world’s AI infrastructure are being built in the United States for the first time.” Nvidia said that its Blackwell chips have already started being produced at TSMC’s plant in Arizona, which began producing advanced chips in late 2024.
“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,” Huang added.
