The project is meant to strengthen Nvidia’s supply chain while reducing its dependence on overseas factories.

Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang explained that, for the first time, the core systems driving global AI development are being built in the US. He said expanding manufacturing within the country will help the company keep up with increasing demand for AI hardware, while also improving the reliability and stability of its supply chain.

The announcement was welcomed by the Trump administration, which connected Nvidia’s decision to its efforts to bring manufacturing back to the US.
