WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald Trump highlighted Micron Technology pouring first concrete at a new semiconductor fabrication plant in New York by mentioning the source (see investors.micron) on a Truth Social post on July 10, 2026 at 6:36 PM EST.

Here is the full post on truthsocial: “Micron Accelerates U.S. Investments, Pours First Concrete at New York Fab: https://investors.micron.com/news-releases/news-release-details/micron-accelerates-us-investments-pours-first-concrete-new-york”

The post linked directly to a press release on Micron’s investor-relations page titled “Micron Accelerates U.S. Investments, Pours First Concrete at New York Fab.” The release could not be fully accessed at the time of publication due to server restrictions (see investors.micron). The headline of the release indicates that Micron is moving ahead with significant capital spending to expand domestic chip manufacturing capacity.

Micron Technology is one of the world’s largest memory-chip producers, with operations spanning DRAM and NAND flash products used in data centers, smartphones and automobiles. The company has previously announced plans to invest tens of billions of dollars in new U.S. fabrication facilities, with New York among the key states selected for expansion. Pouring first concrete signals a project has moved beyond site preparation into active construction.

The announcement arrives as the U.S. semiconductor industry continues a push to bring more chip production onshore after years of reliance on overseas foundries. Federal incentive programs have aimed to encourage companies like Micron, Intel and TSMC to build advanced manufacturing plants within the United States. Micron’s New York project is part of that broader effort to strengthen domestic supply chains for critical technologies.

Trump’s decision to share the Micron press release underscores his continued focus on U.S. manufacturing and economic development. The post could affect market sentiment around Micron and the broader semiconductor sector. In the last 30 days, 28 of 513 Trump posts addressed the topic of “Economy,” according to a Zenger analysis of a real-time database of all Truth Social posts.
