    FULL STORY

    Nvidia has announced it will manufacture its AI supercomputers entirely in
    the United States.

    The company revealed plans to produce $500 billion worth of AI infrastructure in the US over the next four years, building and testing chips in Arizona and assembling AI supercomputers in Texas.

    More than a million square feet of new manufacturing space is being developed to support this expansion.

    The Trump effect?

    Production of Nvidias Blackwell AI chips has begun at TSMCs facilities in Phoenix. In Texas, Foxconn and Wistron will handle supercomputer
    manufacturing in Houston and Dallas, with mass production expected to scale
    up within 12 to 15 months.

    Nvidia is also working with Amkor and SPIL in Arizona to package and test its chips. Together, these facilities form a new supply chain based entirely in
    the US, something the company has never done before. Will this make a huge difference? Probably not.

    According to the The White House, this move is part of a broader trend driven by efforts to bring key tech manufacturing back to American soil.

    Its the Trump Effect in action, a White House statement said . President
    Donald J. Trump has made U.S.-based chips manufacturing a priority as part of his relentless pursuit of an American manufacturing renaissance, and its
    paying off - with trillions of dollars in new investments secured in the tech sector alone.

    Earlier in 2025, President Trump announced a $500 billion private investment
    in AI infrastructure led by OpenAI, Oracle, and Softbank, called Stargate .

    Apple also announced a $500 billion investment, while TSMC committed $100 billion toward domestic chipmaking. The White House noted that onshoring
    these industries supports American workers, strengthens the economy, and improves national security.

    The engines of the worlds AI infrastructure are being built in the United States for the first time," Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said.

    "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.
