What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Japan committed up to $21 billion to construct two chip factories in New York state, which will be operated by GlobalFoundries. These facilities will be jointly owned by Japanese interests and the US government. This investment is part of a larger $550 billion deal Japan struck with the US.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The investment is tied to a previous agreement where the US lowered tariffs on Japanese imports from at least 25% to 15%. GlobalFoundries, which is majority-owned by Mubadala Investment Company, will earn fees from building and operating the new factories and licensing chip manufacturing technology.
