Ross stated the U.S. is moving semiconductor technology from Taiwan to the U.S., becoming "less vulnerable," and that fostering AI is correct because it will produce more productivity and economic growth. He concluded that "a very key component of defense strategy is economic power." National security concerns are driving a strategic re-shoring of critical technology infrastructure (semiconductors) and investment in foundational future technologies (AI). Superior economic and technological power is framed as a core element of national defense and deterrence. This geopolitical-industrial policy pivot should direct capital and regulatory support towards domestic technology services, particularly semiconductors and AI infrastructure, creating a favorable long-term environment for the sector. Execution failure; the shift may happen too slowly or inefficiently to create competitive advantages or secure supply chains.
