In response to the impact of Trump’s tariffs, various Taiwanese OEMs are making strides to establish operations in the United States. Texas has emerged as a primary location for these firms, with major investment announcements from companies like Inventec. The firm plans to invest over $85 million to set up a server manufacturing base in Texas. Other companies, including Foxconn and Wistron, are also making Texas their home to mitigate tariff impacts.
