Why Does Trump Dislike the CHIPS Act?

The CHIPS and Science Act was one of Biden ’s main legislative accomplishments.

It was a massive $280 billion funding bill meant to move semiconductor production to the U.S. Semiconductors are electricity conductors that are essential to the functioning of almost any modern electronic technology.

Critics say the CHIPS Act hasn’t won universal praise since it was enacted in 2022 .

Alabama lawmaker proposed an amendment to the act that would remove diversity-related requirements.

Sen. Todd Young , R-Ind., who helped introduce the CHIPS Act to the Senate , said he was open to working with Trump to address his criticisms of the act.

A spokesperson for Young ’s office told The Daily Signal that Young has had good conversations with the administration about the program.
