Yep. Intel has opened a fab here and is opening another one IIRC, but we still need more fabs here. American manufacturing is important for a lot of reasons, not even just for the U.S.
Having major manufacturing across the planet means fewer shortages, less volatility due to political climate and (also importantly) better quality overall.
That's not to say that Taiwan's quality isn't solid; quality control needs a bit of help though.
We need more major manufacturers here. We need TSMC, Micron and Samsung fabs. We also need the industry to support those fabs as well.
And then of course there's the major security issue of having a hostile foreign power (China) manufacturing most of the world's medication.
