Congressman Biggs issued the following statement:

"I applaud TSMC for its plans to open up a sector of its operations in Arizona. Arizona offers tremendous incentives for businesses to relocate to our state, and I have no doubt that TSMC will thrive in our pro-growth environment. I also congratulate the Trump administration for continuing to bring overseas companies here to the United States to ensure that our supply chain is not interrupted by international chaos. The president understands what it takes to put Americans first, and we continue to see the fruit of his agenda in the aftermath of the coronavirus outbreak."
