【Trump's CBS Interview (2): Bragging About Taiwanese Companies Moving Microchip Production to the U.S.】
At 10 p.m. Washington time on November 2, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump said during an interview with CBS's flagship news program "60 Minutes":
Two years from now, we will control 40-50% of the microchip market. The largest companies are leaving Taiwan and coming to the U.S., precisely because of tariffs. Without them, this would not have happened. The U.S. should focus on developing high-tech industries; cheap goods should be purchased abroad.
Trump added:
They can produce things that make no sense for us — such as underwear or daily necessities. We can buy them at low prices, but we must lead in areas like artificial intelligence, microchips, and other advanced technologies.
