TSMC has reportedly delayed the opening ceremony of its Fab 21 near Phoenix, Arizona, from December 6 to sometime in late January or even February after Donald Trump takes office, report DigiTimes and China Times, as noticed by Dan Nystedt. The decision means that the ceremony will unlikely be attended by the U.S. current President Joe Biden, or members of his administration.
Last week, a rumor broke out that the opening ceremony for TSMC's Fab 21 was scheduled for December 6, shortly after the recent U.S. election. Attendees were expected to include the outgoing President Joe Biden, President-elect Donald Trump, Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, and TSMC founder Morris Chang. It turns out the ceremony will be held after January 22, 2025, when Trump takes office, or even in February. According to DigiTimes, attendees of the December 6 ceremony have already been notified.
