The director of Nvidia met with Trump to discuss the leadership of the United States in AI

“We are glad to meet President Trump and discuss a policy in semiconductors and artificial intelligence. Jensen and the President discussed the importance of strengthening the technological and intellectual leadership of the United States ”, the Venturebeat portal cited by the Nvidia representative.

The meeting took place the day before the president’s promise to introduce import tariffs into a series of goods, among which there may be semiconductor chips. Even from countries like Taiwan, where the main competitors of Nvidia are found.

In his speech at the Conference of the Republican Party in Miami, Trump said local manufacturers do not need incentives in the form of subsidies for the construction of factories in the territory of America (and were received by Intel, TSMC, coherent analog devices, analog devices , etc.). They need incentives not to import 98% of the products of the United States, since production is cheaper.

“The incentive will be that they [американские производители] They will not want to pay 25, 50 or even a 100 percent tax. They will come because it is beneficial for them, “believes the president.

At the same time, the Semiconductor Industry Association (Semiconductor Industry Association – SIA) states that the matter not only has duties and benefits for corporations. The law on chips, which provides precision subsidies and subsidies, strengthens the industry also through job creation, which contributes to the economic growth of the country as a whole.

From the moment of adoption of the Chips Law, at least 90 new companies in the semiconductor sphere in 28 states of the United States have appeared totaling hundreds of billions of dollars of private investment. Together, these projects will create more than 58 thousand jobs.

According to Sia & Boston Consulting Group, published in May last year, since 2022, when the law was adopted, and until 2032, production capacities for semiconductor production in the United States will increase three times. This is the largest-203%, an increase in any industry in any country in the world for this period.

The paternal also predicts that from 2024 to 2032, more than a quarter (28%) of the total volume of world investments in microchips will represent the United States.

The Consumer Technologies Association declared during the CES 2025 exhibition that Trump’s measures can lead to an increase in laptop and tablets prices by 46%, games consoles, 40%and smartphones, in 26%.
