      „move your chip production so we wont even need to protect you“

      LOL, give up the only card you have to get some protection from America for an empty promise from a President that is know to back out of any deal they make if they perceive their interests better served else where.

    4. Sigh… They think it’s so easy like moving a car from one parking spot to the next?

      Right, I’m sure it’s a winning strategy for them to export the strategic industry that incentivizes basically all nations to prevent China from taking them over. “We’re working really hard to align with this goal,” I’m sure.

    6. The good news is, extortion is always trustworthy and never keeps happening

    7. The thing is, if we don’t protect them and China moves in, they can tell the US to go fuck themselves and the cost for the same chips could skyrocket……. tRump and his threats are just stupid. Blackmail is not the way…………..

    8. So we have Bessent’s texts w someone, worried about having overplayed our hand w china and losing the soybean sales and now this

      44% of US logic chips come from Taiwan. And 24% of memory chips.

      I highly doubt the US wants to become dependent on buying chips from China.

    10. Pretty sure this is the same offer they made Ukraine and look how that played out.

      Extortion. Purely transactional. I bet the Taiwanese have a pretty good idea how the Ukranians feel now. Disposable „allies.“

    12. Uhh, so he says that 50% of the chip production should be moved to the US because it would be bad if China took Taiwan and the US lost access. But then apparently he’s trying to argue that Taiwan should totally move to make that happen so that the US will somehow be MORE inclined to defend Taiwan if the US is insulated from the damage of failing to do so? Did I get that right?

      Master negotiator right here.

      Biggest scam/con/criminal in US history. A true piece of human trash.

      I dont think Trump or anyone in his administration (or at least the majority of them) have an interest in fighting China over Taiwan. I think they’ve looked at the paper stats and what we’d probably end up losing and have decided it is better to just cede the west Pacific and perhaps even Europe (despite the recent Tomohawk talk and how overall the view on Ukraines chances of victory have increased because of their drone campaign, I think the Russia/China alliance goes deeper than Trump is willing to go for Ukraine) for an increased, or to put it simply permanent occupation of various countries in the Americas.

      Multipolar world and all that. There is a lot of stuff muddying the water right now, but I can’t shake the feeling out of my mind that that is how it will end up-with Russia and China just being relentless enough over their claims to the point Trump goes „ah well, I guess they can have that if I can have Mexico and Venezuela“.

    15. It would take a decade to build the facilities and either buy new equipment or transfer equipment from Taiwan and reinstall it to support 50% of their capacity. This is just Trump acting like he knows what he’s talking about.

      America does NOT have the upper hand here. The United States isn’t going to leave Taiwan undefended. That would be a global economic catastrophe. The US economy and military depend on Taiwan’s chips, as does every other major country in the world. Not only that, but moving 50% of Taiwan’s chip manufacturing halfway around the world is a near impossibility. This administration is either grossly incompetent, certifiably insane, or both.

    17. How the fuck are they gonna move production ??? Taiwan will probably agree terms and conditions and after a while send the Americans to fuck off

      How the hell is this supposed to be great again huh

      the capacity of the Arizona plants is less than 1/200th of TSMC Taiwan’s total capacity. and Arizona plant requires thousands of Taiwanese to operate and supply chains are from Taiwan. If TSMC​ were to move total capacity over, it would require a few million Taiwanese and a hundred corporations. They would take over Phoenix, is Lutnick ready for that kind of demographics change?

    19. When the Taiwanese engineers come here to build the factories ICE has the opportunity to do the most hilarious thing…

    20. Traditional_Many7988 on

      Right, remove the only reason that the US will protect Taiwan for.

    21. Temu Vader be like „I am altering the deal. Pray I don’t alter it further“

    22. Atlanta_Mane on

      Russia: Ukraine doesn’t need nuclear weapons. We promise to never harm them.

    23. I can see it now, Taiwanese people go to America to setup new factory. All get arrested by ICE.

    24. Jesus. He is selling every bit of soft power, hard power, civic infrastructure, every system of self-government we have built over the last hundred years, selling it all off for firewood. It’s like watching a kid borrow the family car and use it to make money by letting people hit it with a sledgehammer for five dollars a swing. I have said “Jesus” more in the last nine months than in the previous nine years. Jesus.

    25. Time to ban chip sales to America in response. Protect Thaiwan or no chips, donald.
