Huang is talking about complete independence, not just leading edge node production like i've seen many people assume based on the headline. Achieving this in 10-20 years with the volume of components needed is actually pretty optimistic.

Huang explained that Nvidia's products rely on countless components from around the world, not just Taiwan, although Nvidia's most important components are made in Taiwan.

"We are still 10 to 20 years away from achieving supply chain independence," Huang said.

The truth is, the U.S. and other countries dont really want to create (and spend) for complete chip independence, they just dont want to depend on Taiwan and China. Outside of wartime production, chips would just be sourced from the U.S. and trading partners like Korea, Vietnam, Japan, Ireland, Germany.
