INT'L MOD
Can't speak for Nvidia but Intel and AMD both can produce wafers today here in the US.

They already do, but also in Taiwan, where there's a lot of RnD work that also goes on, apart from mass production of GPUs and motherboards etc
I think he's wary of China of grabbing them, but they probably already have all the tech via espionage over the years, but he wont want to expand those foreign facilities further.

He don't got the power to challenge the US establishment. He just mumbles things and then back peddles on issues when he gets told.

He's proper abandoned Ukraine and left them to their fate, let the EU handle it. USA stays hands off, that's his idea, a good idea.
He'll get some pushback from the warmongers in both their parties, no doubt, but he'll stay the course. End the wars, whatever leverage it takes, sometimes you need to twist arms, other times you let go of others clinging to you, like this EU pest Zelensky.
Gaza is a different story, Israel owns the US, too many powerful lobby groups and people of influence for him to ignore.

Also, haven't intel always had a facility there too ?

I don't know them all but I think Broadcom produces in USA and Philipines. Samsung probably in Korea. GFS had some foundries in mainland China but I think their non-Chinese customer base is smaller. ARM itself is about to start making their own chips but in TSMC foundries (probably a mix of TW and US)
As to any big foot print in India, unless Modi or similar is assured of a long tenure there may hesitation to shift lock stock and barrel. We can certainly expect diversification however with stuff happening in China, India, Vietnam and select Arabian countries

Where's India at, we starting with a 28nm forge, yeah ?
Late lateefs as always, even consumer chips are down to 3 nm processes now.
Don't have too deep a grasp of it all but fascinating tech, this..
wonder when Moore's law finally kicks in
