Micron announces $30 billion investment in America as scare of Trump Tariffs loom, says: These investments are designed to allow ...
Micron Technology, a leading memory chip manufacturer, announced Thursday an additional $30 billion investment in U.S. operations, bringing its total planned investment to $200 billion. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The expansion comes as President Donald Trump pressures companies to increase domestic production and threatens new tariffs on semiconductors, while also signaling plans to renegotiate or potentially dismantle the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act. The new investment will fund a second advanced memory fabrication facility in Boise, Idaho, and the expansion of Micron's manufacturing plant in Manassas, Virginia. The company aims to meet rising demand for its DRAM chips , critical for personal computing, automotive, industrial applications, wireless communications, and artificial intelligence. Micron's High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) chips are particularly vital for next-generation AI models, a point emphasized by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who called the investment 'an important step forward for the AI ecosystem.' Micron's announcement builds on its earlier commitments of $100 billion for a New York manufacturing hub and $25 billion for Idaho facilities. In December, the U.S. Commerce Department, under former President Joe Biden, awarded Micron nearly $6.2 billion in subsidies—one of the largest grants under the $52.7 billion CHIPS Act—to support semiconductor production in these states. Additionally, Micron finalized a $275 million direct funding award to expand its Manassas facility. However, the future of such subsidies remains uncertain. President Trump has repeatedly criticized the CHIPS Act and threatened to repeal it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed last week that the administration is reviewing grants awarded to semiconductor firms, including Micron, as part of efforts to renegotiate terms. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Micron also plans to allocate $50 billion to research and development, focusing on advanced memory manufacturing and HBM capabilities. The company aims to produce 40% of its DRAM in the U.S., aligning with growing market demand and strengthening its position in the global semiconductor market. The announcement follows Nvidia's April pledge to invest up to $500 billion in U.S.-based AI server production over the next four years, in collaboration with partners like Taiwan's TSMC. As a key Nvidia customer, Micron's expanded U.S. operations are poised to support the booming AI sector, despite uncertainties surrounding federal support and trade policies. Micron's investments signal a robust commitment to bolstering U.S. semiconductor manufacturing , even as the industry navigates political and economic challenges.

Anti-India, Anti-Modi Canada Protests Driven By ISI-Backed SFJ, Other Groups: Sources
Last Updated: The Khalistani presence in Canada is a complex issue, raising concerns about radicalisation, terrorism, and diplomatic tensions between India and Canada Anti-India and anti-Modi protests in Canada are being driven by the ISI-backed Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) and other radical groups, top intelligence sources have told CNN-News18. Funds from drug and illegal weapons supplies fuel these protests, they said. Divisions have emerged within gurdwaras following the previous Justin Trudeau government's stance on the Khalistan issue, they added. Most Sikhs oppose unnecessary community conflict under ISI influence, said the sources. 'The G7 countries are keen to engage with India on business and trade, but Pakistani terror groups create obstacles. Former Trudeau government ministers, such as Sukh Dhaliwal, have been sidelined due to past activities. Canada has become a haven for gangsters and Pakistan-backed Khalistani groups, sheltering banned terror groups from India and showing no cooperation in investigating Khalistani crimes," a source said. Khalistani groups in Canada 1. International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF) 2. Babbar Khalsa 3. Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) 4. Sikh For Justice (SFJ) 5. Dal Khalsa Terrorists in Canada 1. Hardeep Singh Nijjar (deceased) Radicalisation hubs 1. Surrey, British Columbia 2. Brampton, Ontario 3. Toronto, Ontario 4. Montreal, Quebec Indian concerns referred to Canadian government 1. Terrorist financing 2. Radicalisation of youth 3. Hate speech and incitement 4. Violence and intimidation Numerous letters rogatory (LRs) and deportation requests remain pending with Canadian authorities, without response, the sources said. On June 4, 2023, a tableau depicting the assassination of Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards was paraded through Brampton, Canada. It was organised by Khalistani groups to mark the thirty-ninth anniversary of Operation Bluestar. The Indian government strongly condemned this display, labelling it vote bank politics. Khalistani elements in Canada are not confined to protests; they also engage in physical assaults and violence, with many cases awaiting investigation by Indian federal agencies. Accused individuals linked to the Khalistan movement allegedly orchestrate killings and terror activities in Punjab and other parts of India, collaborating with gangsters in Delhi and Punjab jails. Several extradition and deportation requests from the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for terrorists and pro-Khalistan elements remain pending with the Canadian government. These accused are wanted for terrorism, murder, and other offences. Key requests include Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) member Lakhbir Singh Sandhu, alias Landa, with a Rs 15 lakh reward for information leading to his capture. Landa's associate was arrested for a rocket-propelled grenade attack on the Punjab police intelligence headquarters in Mohali in May 2022. Landa's aide, Arshdeep Singh Gill, alias Arsh Dalla, based in Canada and linked to the Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF), was designated an individual terrorist by the ministry of home affairs on January 9, 2023. In February, the NIA arrested six individuals connected to the terrorist-gangster-drug smuggler nexus, including Dalla's associate, Lucky Khokhar, who provided arms to Dalla's men in Punjab for a killing in Jagraon in January. Another wanted individual is Canada-based Satwinderjeet Singh, alias Goldy Brar, accused of killing Pradeep Kumar, a Dera Sacha Sauda follower, in Faridkot in November 2022. He is also implicated in the 2022 murder of singer Sidhu Moose Wala, who had returned to India for the Punjab state elections. 'No action is being taken against individuals like SFJ's US-based chief Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who incites communal disharmony on social media. He was booked by the NIA in December 2020, along with Nijjar and Paramjit Singh Pamma, who resides in the UK," a source said. 'The Canadian government is providing a platform for extremists, separatists, and those advocating violence. It must recognise its responsibility to ensure the safety and security of its citizens, both domestically and internationally, and take the threat of Khalistani extremism seriously through concrete action." Multiple attacks on Indian temples have occurred, but Canada's commitment to Hindus remains unclear, said sources. The Khalistani presence in Canada is a complex issue, raising concerns about radicalisation, terrorism, and diplomatic tensions between India and Canada.
