According to The Hill and The Epoch Times, Japan will fund up to $21 billion to build two semiconductor plants in upstate New York, operated by GlobalFoundries under a US-Japan trade framework. The first plant is scheduled to begin construction this year, with chip production expected in 2029, and the partners will decide on the second before the end of 2028. Trump announced the deal on Wednesday. Governor Kathy Hochul said the site will support more than 1,000 manufacturing jobs, and The Epoch Times reports the plants will be jointly owned by the U.S. government and Japanese interests.

In the outlets’ own words

  • Delegitimizing label

    Commie ChinaMore neutral: China

    The label dismisses the Chinese government with a political insult rather than naming the country.

    …right now, too much of the global semiconductor industry is still dependent upon Commie China, particularly for the rare earths so necessary for their fabrication.

  • Loaded verb

    BoastsMore neutral: discusses

    The verb presents the president's announcement as bragging rather than describing what he said.

  • Sensational language

    historicMore neutral: large

    Calling the project historic states a judgement of its importance that the announcement itself does not establish.
