The Impact of the NOFO Program on the US Semiconductor Industry
The goal of this program is to build up a more resilient domestic semiconductor industry so that it creates lots of good jobs and also ensures that the US isn't vulnerable to supply chain disruptions in the future.

The important thing is that we don't let kind of unconstructive competitive dynamics take hold, right? Like we don't want a race to the bottom.
