The Cost of Not Moving Factories to the U.S.: Trump Threatens Retroactive Taxes, Semiconductor Giants Scramble for Solutions
Amid the U.S. government's push for the semiconductor industry to return stateside, former President Trump has recently threatened that companies not relocating their production lines to America will face retroactive taxes. This move has put considerable pressure on many semiconductor giants, who are urgently seeking ways to mitigate potential financial losses.
The semiconductor industry expresses concerns that even minor tax increases could exacerbate the already high operational costs. Consequently, companies are exploring various alternative solutions, including strengthening collaborations with local governments and seeking opportunities in other markets, which may significantly alter future industry layouts.
