A bipartisan group of eight governors from U.S. auto states on Friday urged Democratic U.S. President Joe Biden to do more to press semiconductor firms to address a global shortage of automotive chips that has cut some vehicle production.
The governors of Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Kansas, South Carolina, Alabama and Missouri asked Biden in a letter to join foreign governments in urging semiconductor and wafer companies to expand production and"temporarily reallocate a modest portion of their current production to auto-grade wafer production.
Biden said on Wednesday he would seek US$37 billion in funding for legislation to supercharge U.S. chip manufacturing and signed an executive order aimed at addressing the global semiconductor chip shortage.
