Biden Signs Chips Bill, Reducing Dependence on Asian Suppliers

(Bloomberg) — U.S. President Joe Biden signed into law a broad competition bill Tuesday that includes about $52 billion to boost domestic semiconductor research and development, calling it a “once-in-a-generation investment in America itself.”

“We need to make these chips here in America to bring down everyday costs and create jobs,” said Biden at a signing ceremony for the CHIPS and Science Act on the White House South Lawn, joined by executives from U.S. semiconductor firms and congressional leaders.
