Biden hails IBM’s $20 billion New York manufacturing deal
IBM plans to invest $20 billion in New York’s Hudson Valley region, once a manufacturing powerhouse, over the next decade to make and develop semiconductors, mainframe technology, artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
"Where is it written that we can’t lead manufacturing in the world?” Biden said. “The supply chain is going to start here and end here, in the United States.”
Government funding is essential to boost manufacturing and ensure U.S. national security by producing critical goods now made abroad, Biden said. His administration and fellow Democrats have directed billions in federal funding to encourage private- sector spending and create jobs.
