USA-CHIPS

TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan's GlobalWafers said it expects the Chips and Science Act award aimed at encouraging investment by chipmakers in the United States would continue under the new U.S. administration.

"Multi-year and decadal programs like the CHIPS Act and the agreements we have signed are regularly continued from one administration to the next," it said in a statement on Thursday. "We expect the CHIPS program to be no different and run smoothly in the Trump administration." (Reporting by Ben Blanchard; Editing by Himani Sarkar).
