A US company should buy TSMC and move the operations to US and offer all employees citizenship. It’s a matter of national security.

The sale would probably be blocked by the Taiwanese government.

TSMC is already building the $12 Billion, 1,100 acre fab in Arizona, so I don't think that will be necessary.

TSMC runs 3 shifts the fab never shuts down. It would take a couple years to move and reset the hardware, assuming a building was already in existence. Plus a lot of the fab would probably not survive shipping.
