特朗普总统周二宣布，五角大楼将投资 15 亿美元，以扩大北卡罗来纳州的半导体生产，这是政府推动制造业回流美国的一部分。
President Trump on Tuesday announced a $1.5 billion dollar investment from the Pentagon to expand semiconductor production in North Carolina, as the administration pushes to reshore manufacturing to the U.S. “The Department of War will be investing $1.5 billion dollars to produce cutting-edge semiconductor chips right here in North Carolina,” Trump said while speaking at a midterm rally in Greenville.
“战争部将投资 15 亿美元，在这里的北卡罗来纳州生产尖端半导体芯片，” 特朗普在格林维尔举行的中期选举集会上发言时表示。总统还宣布，Sibelco 将在“松柏州”建设一座大型制造工厂，并邀请商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克上台向人群公布这一消息。
The president also announced the construction of a massive manufacturing plant in the Tar Heel State by Sibelco, bringing Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on stage to share the news with the crowd. “So, the president had as one of his fundamental objectives was to bring semiconductor manufacturing home to America, right?”
“所以，总统的基本目标之一是将半导体制造带回美国，对吧？” 卢特尼克说。“全都在台湾制造，对吧？这对美国来说太远了。所以他要把它带回来。” 卢特尼克提供的细节很少，但表示该设施将专注于石英制造。“它基本上是半导体的基础，他们将在这里的北卡罗来纳州建设它，” 他说。
Lutnick said. “It's all made in Taiwan, right? And that's just too far away for America. So he's bringing it home.”Lutnick provided few details, but said the facility will focus on quartz manufacturing. “It is basically the foundation of semiconductors, and they're going to build it right here in North Carolina,” he said.
特朗普表示，企业正在“以前所未有的水平”投资美国制造业，并补充说卢特尼克与那些“因为关税和因为我们而想要搬回来”的公司进行了合作。特朗普在之前的中期选举集会站点也做过类似宣布，包括台湾对阿拉斯加管道投资 44 亿美元，以及韩国对美国能源基础设施投资 2000 亿美元。
Trump said companies have been investing in U.S. manufacturing “at levels never seen before,” adding that Lutnick collaborated with companies that “want to move back in because of the tariffs and because of us.”Trump has made similar announcements at previous midterm rally stops, including a $4.4 billion investment from Taiwan into the Alaska pipeline and a $200 billion investment from South Korea into U.S. energy infrastructure.
