Nvidia to Manufacture American-Made AI Supercomputers for First Time

As United States President Donald Trump prepares to impose tariffs on foreign-made semiconductors, the Nvidia Corp. is preparing to open U.S. factories to manufacture parts for AI supercomputers.

  • Nvidia will build the first factory in Houston, Texas, with iPhone supplier Foxconn.
  • The second will be in Dallas, Texas, with contract electronics manufacturer Wistron.
  • The third will be in Phoenix, Arizona, with Amkor and spil.

The engines of the world’s AI infrastructure are being built in the United States for the first time. 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.
—Jensen Huang, founder and ceo of Nvidia

Posts on X suggest that Nvidia has been exploring U.S. manufacturing since President Trump’s first term, yet the 2022 chips and Science Act accelerated its timetable. President Trump hopes that new tariffs on foreign-made semiconductors will prompt more companies to move manufacturing operations to the United States.

Foreign semiconductors: In 2024, only 12 percent of the world’s semiconductor chips were made in the U.S., down from 37 percent in 1990. Around 60 to 70 percent of U.S.-consumed semiconductors come from Taiwan, an island nation that is falling under the influence of Communist China. Worried that the U.S. could lose access to semiconductors during a conflict with China, policymakers are trying to onshore production.

President Trump signaled on April 14 that new tariffs targeting imported computer chips are coming soon. In the next four years, Nvidia plans to produce half a trillion dollars’ worth of AI infrastructure in the U.S.

Trade war: America has become too dependent on foreign nations for essential goods, like semiconductors. It desperately needs to revitalize its manufacturing industry before it is too late.

End-time prophecies in Deuteronomy 28, Isaiah 23 and Ezekiel 5 describe the devastating effects that trade war and economic besiegement will have on the U.S. in the end time. The main reason this trade war will be so devastating is that America has become addicted to foreign goods.

The nation got along fine without Communist China in the 1950s, but it has since embraced a globalist agenda that ripped the industrial heart out of the country. If America does not turn back to God and the values that make nations great, it will learn the hard way that Communist China is untrustworthy.
