“Back in 2020, thanks to President Trump’s vision and support, we embarked on our journey of establishing advanced chip manufacturing in the United States. This vision is now a reality," said TSMC Chairman and CEO Dr. C.C. Wei.

Donald Trump's contribution wasn't exactly large. Everybody seems to have thought that it was good idea, and Joe Biden seems to have supported it when he came to power.
