GlobalFoundries wins US$21 billion US-Japan deal to build, operate two New York fabs

What happened

GlobalFoundries has won a US$21 billion US-Japan deal to build and operate two new fabs in New York, under an arrangement where governments own the factory and tools and pay GlobalFoundries to build and run them, adding capacity without a capital bill for the company; for Japan, the deal channels part of its US$550 billion US investment pledge into supply for Japanese chipmakers and work for Japanese toolmakers; for Taiwan's mature-node foundries, it creates a large state-backed source of capacity on US soil in the segment where they are expected to benefit from customers' supply-chain diversification; the source does not state the cause.
