Chipmaker Nvidia said it is building new factories that can produce its AI supercomputers entirely on U.S. soil as trade war tensions build with top chipmaking countries such as China and Taiwan.

Nvidia is working with Taiwanese electronics manufacturers Foxconn and Wistron to build two supercomputer factories in Houston and Dallas, the company announced Monday, and “Mass production at both plants is expected to ramp up in the next 12-15 months.”

The U.S. chipmaker said it is already producing its Blackwell chips, which provide capacity for generative AI and accelerated computing, at the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) factory in Phoenix.

Nvidia expects the investment to result in “hundreds of thousands of jobs and drive trillions of dollars in economic security over the coming decades,” according to a news release.

The Trump administration is touting the news of building U.S. supercomputer factories as a win in its efforts to boost domestic manufacturing.

China has suspended exports of a wide range of critical minerals and magnets, threatening to choke off supplies of components central to automakers, aerospace manufacturers, semiconductor companies and military contractors around the world.

Shipments of the magnets, essential for assembling everything from cars and drones to robots and missiles, have been halted at many Chinese ports while the Chinese government drafts a new regulatory system. Once in place, the new system could permanently prevent supplies from reaching certain companies, including American military contractors.

The official crackdown is part of China’s retaliation for President Trump’s sharp increase in tariffs that started on April 2.

On April 4, the Chinese government ordered restrictions on the export of six heavy rare earth metals, which are refined entirely in China, as well as rare earth magnets, 90 percent of which are produced in China. The metals, and special magnets made with them, can now be shipped out of China only with special export licenses.

ATLANTA (AP) — Trump administration officials were out in force across the television networks Sunday defending President Donald Trump’s economic policies after another week of reeling markets that saw the Republican administration reverse course on some of its steepest tariffs.

Trump, meanwhile, said on his social media platform that there ultimately will be no exemptions for his sweeping tariff agenda, disputing characterizations that he has granted tariff exceptions for certain electronics, including smart phones, whose production is concentrated in China. Rather, Trump said, “those products are subject to the existing 20% Fentanyl Tariffs, and they are just moving to a different Tariff ‘bucket.’”

White House advisers and Cabinet members tried to project confidence and calm amid Trump’s on-again, off-again approach to tariffs on imported goods from around the world. But their explanations about the overall agenda, coupled with Trump’s latest statements, also reflected shifting narratives from a president who, as a candidate in 2024, promised an immediate economic boost and lower prices but now asks American businesses and consumers for patience.

A week ago, Trump’s team stood by his promise to leave the impending tariffs in place without exceptions. They used their latest news show appearances to defend his move to ratchet back to a 10% universal tariff for most nations except China (145%), while seeming to grant exemptions for certain electronics like smartphones, laptops, hard drives, flat-panel monitors and semiconductor chips.

Bill Maher, left wing comedian and trump hater reports on his one on one dinner with Donald Trump. His report causes his "millions of liberal sphincters to tighten" amongst his liberal audience as he claims that trump is gracious, measured, and claims that trump is not a crazy person, he only plays one on TV.

Video of Bill Maher Revealing Details of His Dinner With Trump Goes Viral

Comedian and television host Bill Maher revealed on Friday the details of his recent dinner with President Donald Trump in an attempt to emphasize the need for civil discourse rather than "hurling insults from 3,000 miles away."

Newsweek reached out by email on Saturday morning, outside of normal business hours, to Maher and Warner Brothers Discovery (WBD) for comment.

Why It Matters
Maher, host of HBO's weekly talk show Real Time With Bill Maher, has often spoken out against Trump over the years, making him the butt of jokes. Trump, in return, has often lambasted Maher, calling him "overrated" and "ratings challenged." Just before the dinner took place, Trump posted on Truth Social that Maher has been "unjustifiably critical of anything or anyone TRUMP."

Last month, Maher compared extreme adulation for Trump by his die-hard supporters to that of North Koreans praising their leader Kim Jong-Un. Maher also said that in a hypothetical rematch election between Trump and former President Joe Biden, he would "vote for Biden's head in a jar of blue liquid versus Donald Trump."

The comedian has also been critical of "woke" progressives, describing himself as an "old-school liberal." He has repeatedly raised concerns about the left and what he and many others describe as "cancel culture." He touts dialogue between political factions as important and maintains friendships with prominent conservatives, who he also features on his show.
