reut.rs/3xram5B
Quick Glance: Samsung to Receive Generous Chip Subsidies for Texas Expansion
- The Biden administration plans to award Samsung between $6 billion and $7 billion to expand its chip output in Taylor, Texas.

- As part of the deal, Samsung plans to more than double its U.S. investments to over $44 billion without taking government loans. It was not expected for President Joe Biden to attend the event.
