NVIDIA shifts AI supercomputer production to America in historic $500 billion move
In a major supply chain shift, NVIDIA will partner with companies like TSMC, Foxconn, and Wistron to build AI factories in the U.S
Just days after NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang attended a high-profile dinner at Mar-a-Lago hosted by former President Donald Trump, a dramatic shift in U.S. trade policy appears to have set the stage for a major development.
Huang, who reportedly paid $1 million to attend the exclusive event, had been facing looming export restrictions on NVIDIA’s AI powerhouse H20 chip.
But in a surprising turn, the Trump administration paused the planned controls following the gathering, suggesting a recalibration of its trade approach.
Now, NVIDIA is moving swiftly to reshape its manufacturing future — on American soil.
AI supercomputers to be built in the US for the first time
On Monday, NVIDIA announced that it will begin producing AI supercomputers entirely in the United States for the first time, working with major global partners to establish a massive domestic manufacturing presence.
The company has commissioned over a million square feet of factory space, and plans to produce up to $500 billion worth of AI infrastructure in the U.S. over the next four years.
NVIDIA Blackwell chips, the next-generation processors behind the company’s AI computing power, have already started production at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) facilities in Phoenix, Arizona.
In addition to chip production, the company is building supercomputer factories in Texas, teaming up with Foxconn in Houston and Wistron in Dallas. NVIDIA expects both sites to reach mass production within 12 to 15 months.
