U.S. wants to stimulate semiconductor investments to stay in Mexico

"It is necessary to work together to overcome the incentives offered by competitors, address industry concerns about clean energy, water, and infrastructure, and build a comprehensive national semiconductor strategy for Mexico," he expressed during his participation in the Semiconductor Collaboration Forum between both nations.
