Trump push to scuttle CHIPS Act befuddles New York leaders

The article from WXXI News discusses former President Donald Trump's push to repeal the CHIPS and Science Act, which has left New York leaders perplexed.

Trump's criticism stems from his claim that the Act benefits foreign companies, particularly those from South Korea and Taiwan, rather than American firms.
