The fate of the global economy may rest on the shoulders of one company: TSMC.

According to a 2021 report from the Semiconductor Industry Association, in 1990 the US produced 37% of the world's chip supply. These days, the US is responsible for only 12% of global chip production.

White House officials are worried the cut to production quotas could end up undermining the G7 effort to cap the price of Russian oil. Kirby said Saudi Arabia knew the reductions would increase Russian revenues and curb the effectiveness of Western sanctions on Moscow after it invaded Ukraine.
