Computer chip giant Texas Instruments (TI) will invest more than $60bn (\u00a344.74bn) in the US, as President Donald Trump pressures big technology firms to increase manufacturing in the country.<\/p>\n

The company said it plans to build or expand seven chip-making facilities at three sites in Texas and Utah, and create 60,000 jobs. TI did not give a detailed timeline for the investment.<\/p>\n

The Dallas-based firm described the move as the “largest investment in foundational semiconductor manufacturing in US history.”<\/p>\n

It follows similar announcements from others manufacturing semiconductors, including Micron, which said last week that it would increase its planned spending in the US to $200bn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“President Trump has made it a priority to increase semiconductor manufacturing in America,” US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, said in a statement on Wednesday<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“Our partnership with TI will support US chip manufacturing for decades to come.”<\/p>\n

Like some other companies that unveiled major spending pledges, TI’s announcement includes money already earmarked to either build or expand facilities.<\/p>\n

Some analysts have said they see such major spending announcements as attempts to placate Trump. The president has repeatedly threatened to cancel the $52.7bn CHIPS and Science Act, which was introduced by his predecessor, Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

In December, the Biden administration finalised a $1.6bn subsidy for TI after it announced plans to invest at least $18bn to build three new facilities.<\/p>\n

Trump has also warned of potential new tariffs on imports of semiconductors.<\/p>\n

Unlike artificial intelligence chip companies like Nvidia, Texas Instruments makes so-called foundational chips, which are used in various devices, including smartphones and cars.<\/p>\n

The company operates 15 sites around the world, including facilities in the US and Asia. It counts iPhone-maker Apple, Elon Musk’s rocket firm SpaceX and motor industry giant Ford amongst its customers.<\/p>\n

Texas Instruments has faced increasing competition from Chinese manufacturers of these lower-end chips.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
