WASHINGTON, D.C. — Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. will invest an additional $100 billion in U.S. semiconductor manufacturing, increasing its planned domestic investment to $265 billion and expanding its Arizona footprint to 12 advanced fabrication and packaging facilities, the White House and Department of Commerce stated Friday.
The expansion follows a U.S.-Taiwan trade and investment agreement signed in January 2026 and marks the latest effort by the Trump administration to increase domestic semiconductor production and reduce reliance on overseas manufacturing.
The additional investment builds on TSMC’s earlier commitments in Arizona. The company originally pledged $65 billion before increasing that commitment by $100 billion in March 2025. The newly announced expansion raises the total planned investment to $265 billion.
According to the Commerce Department, the latest investment will fund four additional advanced semiconductor manufacturing facilities, bringing TSMC’s total planned U.S. campus to 12 fabrication and advanced packaging facilities.
The administration stated the investment is expected to create thousands of construction and high-tech manufacturing jobs while generating broader economic activity through suppliers and related industries. It did not provide a timeline for construction or completion of the additional facilities.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick linked the announcement to the administration’s trade and industrial policy.
“TSMC’s announcement of an additional $100 billion investment following our historic deal on trade and investment with Taiwan will create tens of thousands of American jobs and bring advanced semiconductor manufacturing back to America,” Lutnick stated.
TSMC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer C.C. Wei attributed the expansion to long-term demand from U.S. customers.
“This is to support the strong multi-year demand from our leading U.S. customers,” Wei stated, adding that the company expects the investment to strengthen the domestic semiconductor ecosystem and supply chain.
The investment announcement comes alongside broader commitments outlined in the U.S.-Taiwan trade and investment agreement.
According to the administration, the agreement is expected to support $250 billion in direct investments by Taiwanese semiconductor and other companies, along with another $250 billion in investment intended to expand additional segments of the semiconductor supply chain in the United States.
The Commerce Department characterized the TSMC expansion as part of a broader strategy to increase U.S. semiconductor manufacturing capacity and attract additional foreign investment into critical technology industries.
