Nvidia bets $150B on Taiwan as Trump's plan to make US an AI hub backfires

5 hours ago

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announces a $150 billion annual investment to cement Taiwan as the epicenter of the AI revolution.
The investment will fund a new Taiwan headquarters, expected to be operational by 2030, driving AI innovation and reinforcing Taiwan as a global tech manufacturing hub.
Nvidia’s spending in Taiwan has surged from $10-15 billion annually a few years ago to a projected $150 billion, reflecting Taiwan's critical role in chip production and AI supercomputing.
Despite its new Taiwan base, Nvidia faces potential conflicts with U.S. efforts, under Trump's AI Action Plan, to boost domestic manufacturing and become the world's AI hub.
Nvidia began producing AI chips in the U.S. last April, partly to address political pressures, but its massive Taiwan investment underscores the region's irreplaceability in the AI supply chain.
