Washington, June 12 (Hibya) – U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick stated that Micron’s planned investment will help advance U.S. leadership in critical sectors such as artificial intelligence, automotive, aerospace, and defense.
Secretary Lutnick emphasized that President Donald Trump has made it clear that “now is the time to build in America.”
He noted that, in partnership with the Department of Commerce, Micron announced a $200 billion semiconductor manufacturing and R&D investment to bring the entire memory chip production chain back to the U.S. “Micron’s planned investment will boost U.S. leadership in AI, automotive, aerospace, and defense,” he said.
