Taiwan semiconductor manufacturerCristiano Amon, CEO of Qualcomm, told CNBC on Tuesday, adding that it helps diversify the chip industry sites.
Amun also addressed the tariff policy of US President Donald Trump, indicating that long -term technology trends would exceed any state of uncertainty in the short term.
Trump announced on Monday this TSMC will invest $ 100 billion in the United States. Which will go towards building more chips manufacturing plants in Arizona. TSMC is the largest semiconductor manufacturer in the world and providing chips for Qualcomm, apple and Nafidia.
Under the leadership of Trump and former President Joe Biden, the United States has sought to provide more manufacture of advanced chips to American territory on the basis that it is national and economic security to bring these advanced technologies closer to the home.
Many support in the technology industry these plans, including Qualcomm.
“See, this is great news,” Amon said. “It indicates that semi -conductors are important. It will be important … Economy. Economic security means access to semiconductors. More manufacturing is music for our ears.”
Amun said that some Qualcomm chips were already manufactured in the current TSMC factories in Arizona and in the future, the company will get more semiconductors in the United States
“TSMC is a great supplier for manufacturing in favor of Qualcomm. They have a facility in Arizona. We already have built -in chips in Arizona. The more the ability we use, the more we use it, in the same way we use in Taiwan, we will use it in other locations.”
International companies are also digesting Identification of definitions By the United States on Mexico and Canada as well as additional duties in China.

Amun said it is currently difficult to predict the influence of Qualcomm from the definitions.
“It is difficult to know that you don't know exactly how this will happen. The interesting thing is that we are big
Chips exporters. We are not importing chips … chips will go to the devices. “They were made around the world, and it is difficult to know what is happening,” Amon said.
“We only will move based on any result.”
Qualcomm CEO said that there are a number of major technology trends that are likely to support the work of the American giant in the short term in the short term.
We are right in “the beginning of an important upgrade to smartphones from artificial intelligence. We see computers that turn into AI computers. Cars have become computers. This is what drives our business, and not necessarily what we will see in the short term.”
