The Biden administration is scrambling to send billions to chipmakers before Trump takes over
By Jacob Zinkula, Business InsiderÂ
The Biden administration is running out of time to finalize agreements that would secure billions in funding for US chipmakers.
In 2022, President Joe Biden signed the CHIPS Act into law, which included $39 billion in manufacturing incentives for chip production in the US along with $13.2 billion for semiconductor research and workforce development. In addition to creating US jobs, the administration hoped to secure supply chains and make the US less reliant on advanced chips from Taiwan.
