cnbc.com Dylan Butts 2026-02-16 04:23:07

The latest version of U.S. President Donald Trump's "big beautiful bill" could make it cheaper for semiconductor manufacturers to build plants in the U.S. as Washington continues its efforts to strengthen its domestic chip supply chain. Under the bill, passed by the Senate Tuesday, tax credits for those semiconductor firms would rise to 35% from 25%.

GOP wants EV tax credit gone; it would be a disaster for Tesla

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-18 03:00:55

The Republican Party's opposition to tax credits for electric vehicles has stepped up a notch. As its members in the US Senate add their input to the budget bill that came from their colleagues in the House of Representatives, among the changes they want to see is a faster eradication of the IRS clean vehicle tax credit. The tax credit provides up to $7,500 off the price of an EV as long as certain conditions are met, and the language from the House would have given it until the end of the year.
