>But it will certainly be able to make them abroad later on. TSMC never intended to have leading edge node in US or anywhere else other than Taiwan. This is purely because of economics and business reasons. It doesn't make sense to have it elsewhere when 99% of your R&D is in Taiwan. So while they could mandate it as part of law. It doesn't change the fact it will never happen in the first place. Having the main long node, like 7nm to 3nm or 2nm at a later date in US isn't all that bad if not a good thing. The node get polished and you always end up with the cost efficient node.
