Comment on Trump prepares to change US CHIPS Act conditions, sources say

What this administration fails to understand is that the USA currently lacks the workforce to be self-sufficient in semiconductors. Cutting off the supply of chips via tariffs and constricting federal funds to foundries isn’t going to magically make the country a semiconductor powerhouse. We’ve got the capability to build fabrication sites, sure. What we need is a workforce—people with graduate degrees in electrical and computer engineering. And that’s going to take time. This whole ordeal is sloppy and embarrassing
