Trump calls for an end to the Chips Act, redirecting funds to national debt

Why it matters: Donald Trump wants to kill off the Chips Act, the 2022 bipartisan law that is handing out $52.7 billion in subsidies to help bring semiconductor manufacturing back to the US.

So, the focus is on the fact that the team could do simultaneous editing of multiple genes—something
