Surely 100% tariffs on chips will boost national production, right?

Which is great for TSMC opening new fabs in the US too lol

The threatened 100% semiconductor tariff is for companies not doing any production within the US. So it would mostly serve to cement the market position of large players such as TSMC, Intel, TI, et al.
