美國眾議院中國委員會的民主黨首席議員羅·卡納（Ro Khanna）指責川普政府干預《晶片與科學法案》對三星和 SK 海力士等記憶體晶片製造商的補助。卡納警告，這種干預破壞了拜登政府將晶片製造遷回美國的努力，並直接導致了近期消費性電子產品價格的飆升。

由於人工智慧（AI）熱潮引發全球記憶體晶片需求激增與價格上漲，蘋果（Apple）等美國科技巨頭正考慮向中國晶片製造商長鑫存儲（CXMT）採購晶片，甚至為此遊說政府。然而，長鑫存儲已被美國國防部列入涉嫌與中國軍方有關聯的黑名單，引發了兩黨議員對國家安全的強烈擔憂。

儘管三星、SK 海力士和美光等大廠正在美國與韓國大幅擴張產能，但美國新政府對晶片補助的審查與不確定性，可能會使美國企業被迫依賴中國的供應鏈。卡納強調，如果美國或韓國企業無法滿足國內需求，增加對中國記憶體晶片供應鏈的依賴將完全不符合美國的國家利益。

Ro Khanna, the top Democrat on the House China committee, has accused the Trump administration of interfering with Chips and Science Act funding promised to major memory chipmakers like Samsung and SK Hynix. Khanna warned that this interference undermines efforts to reshore chip manufacturing to the US and has directly contributed to the recent surge in consumer electronics prices.

Driven by skyrocketing demand and rising memory chip costs fueled by the AI boom, major US tech companies like Apple are actively considering sourcing chips from China's CXMT. However, CXMT has been blacklisted by the Pentagon over alleged ties to the Chinese military, raising significant national security concerns and alarming lawmakers from both parties.

Although industry giants like Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron are planning massive capacity expansions in the US and South Korea, uncertainty surrounding government grants under the new administration threatens these efforts. Khanna emphasized that failing to meet domestic demand could force US manufacturers into a dangerous reliance on Chinese supply chains, which is firmly against the nation's strategic interests.
