U.S.-based chip-tech group moving to Switzerland over trade curb fears
A U.S.-based foundation overseeing promising semiconductor technology developed with Pentagon support will soon move to Switzerland after several of the group’s foreign members raised concerns about potential U.S. trade curbs.
The nonprofit RISC-V Foundation (pronounced risk-five) wants to ensure that universities, governments and companies outside the United States can help develop its open-source technology, its Chief Executive Calista Redmond said in an interview with Reuters.
She said the foundation’s global collaboration has faced no restrictions to date but members are “concerned about possible geopolitical disruption.”
“From around the world, we’ve heard that ‘If the incorporation was not in the U.S., we would be a lot more comfortable’,” she said. Redmond said the foundation’s board of directors approved the move unanimously but declined to disclose which members prompted it.

The most common reason is for a piece of the action. That's why corrupt politicians win reelection for 30 years or more, everybody wants some of that pie. There's nothing particularly complex about it.

And because the democrats profiting there are political rivals (or in their clan) of Trump, that makes it uninvestigatable for the Trump administration -- even impeachable, according to 2019 democrat party doctrine.
Americans sitting at home and watching the evening news take a step back and think: Just what of they are telling you is right and wrong is right and wrong?
