Great news for the US. Great news for Apple, AMD, and Nvidia. Not so good news for Taiwan. The fact that the whole tech world is dependent on chips produced in Hsinchu is a huge advantage for the safety of Taiwan. Moving the fabs and talent further away from the island will not benefit the people of Taiwan at all. TSMC with its global influence has been a huge factor for guaranteeing safety of the island and peace in the Taiwan strait. On the other hand, TSMC is a corporation like every other and does what's best for their business. Most likely it's a huge win for everyone holding their stock. Are we going to see fabs in Central/Eastern Europe next? I'd hope so.
