President Joe Biden is preparing to sign a $280 billion bipartisan bill to
boost domestic high-tech manufacturing, part of his administration's push to
boost U.S. competitiveness over China.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Joe Biden is preparing to sign a $280 billion
bipartisan bill to boost domestic high-tech manufacturing, part of his
administration's push to boost U.S. competitiveness over China.
The Rose Garden ceremony on Tuesday will include lawmakers, union officials,
local politicians and business leaders, the White House said, as the president
looks to highlight a new law that will incentivize investments in the American
semiconductor industry in an effort to ease U.S. reliance on overseas supply
chains for critical, cutting-edge goods.
"We are going to invest it in America," Biden said Friday. "We're going to
make it in America. We're going to win the economic competition of the 21st
century in America."
The White House said Micron is announcing a $40 billion plan to boost
domestic manufacturing of memory chips, and Qualcomm and GlobalFoundries are
announcing a $4.2 billion expansion of an upstate New York chip plant.
