The company plans to produce AI infrastructure worth up to 500 billion dollars (equivalent to 4,885 billion kronor) in the USA through partnerships with Taiwanese TSMC, Foxconn, Wistron, and Amkor over the next four years.
According to Nvidia, the company will manufacture Blackwell chips in Arizona and AI supercomputers in Texas.
American manufacturing will, according to CEO Jensen Huang, help the company "better meet the incredible and growing demand for AI chips and supercomputers" and strengthen the company's supply chain and increase resilience. This is according to a blog post on the company's website.
The announcement comes after President Donald Trump introduced tariffs against countries that, in his opinion, have trade barriers against the USA. Against Taiwan – which dominates the production of advanced microchips in the world – a 32 percent tariff was introduced. Nvidia manufactures a large part of its graphics processors in Taiwan.
Over the weekend, however, several statements were made by the Trump administration about exemptions for certain electronics – but Trump later announced that it was not about exemptions, but that the products are covered by existing 20 percent tariffs and will be moved to a new tariff category.
