Among the top priorities of President Donald Trump's effort to Make America Great Again is the revitalization of American manufacturing, and he just scored a major win in that regard this week.

On Tuesday, the U.S.-based Nvidia tech company revealed that it will partner with the U.S. Department of Energy to build seven new supercomputers utilizing more than 100,000 advanced semiconductor chips built in the U.S., according to Breitbart.

That was just one of several major announcements from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about the company's commitment to bolstering not just American manufacturing and prosperity, but also becoming the world's dominant player in the development of artificial intelligence technologies.

U.S. chipmaker partners with Energy Department

The New York Post reported on Tuesday that Huang delivered the keynote address at Nvidia's annual GTC event, held for the first time in Washington, D.C., and announced the huge new deal worked out with the Energy Department to construct seven new highly advanced supercomputers.

The largest of the seven supercomputers will be built in coordination with Oracle and will feature 100,000 of Nvidia's new Blackwell chips. The AI supercomputers will be used by the DOE to help develop and maintain the nation's arsenal of nuclear weapons, to research advanced alternative energy sources like nuclear fusion, and for other high-tech purposes.

"Putting the weight of the nation behind pro-energy growth completely changed the game," Huang told the event's attendees. "If this didn’t happen, we could have been in a bad situation, and I want to thank President Trump for that."

The CEO also shared that all of Nvidia's chips were being manufactured in Arizona, its servers assembled in Texas, and its networking gear produced in California, and said, "We are manufacturing in America again -- it is incredible. The first thing that President Trump asked me is, 'Bring manufacturing back.'"

The DOE's largest-ever supercomputer

The Department of Energy also proudly announced the new public-private partnership with Nvidia and Oracle on what will be the DOE's largest-ever supercomputer, dubbed the Solstice system, that will be immediately put to work at the Department's Argonne National Laboratory.

The release noted that the new AI supercomputers, the first of which is expected to go online next year, will be "seamlessly connected with DOE’s vast network of scientific instruments and data assets to address some of the nation’s most pressing challenges in energy, security, and discovery science."

Energy Secretary Chris Wright said in a statement, "Winning the AI race requires new and creative partnerships that will bring together the brightest minds and industries American technology and science has to offer. The two Argonne systems and the collaboration between the Department of Energy, NVIDIA, and Oracle represent a new commonsense approach to computing partnerships."

"These systems will be a powerhouse for scientific and technological innovation," he added. "Thanks to President Trump, we’re bringing new computing capacity online faster than ever before and turning shared innovation into national strength."

Other good news from Nvidia

According to Breitbart, Nvidia's Huang offered up additional good news for the company and the country, in addition to the DOE deal, including that it had bookings to manufacture more than $500 billion worth of its new Blackwell and Rubin semiconductor chips over the next five fiscal quarters.

On top of that, Nvidia has partnered with U.S.-based Palantir Technologies to help address logistical problems for commercial businesses and retailers, as well as with Finland-based Nokia to work on AI communications equipment and to lay the groundwork for the move to the next-generation 6G wireless data network.

And as if that wasn't already enough, Nvidia unveiled its new self-driving vehicle technology known as Hyperion, which it aims to employ in a partnership with Uber on a network of Robotaxis.
