As a recap of the earlier news:
Trump has announced a 100% tariff on all imported computer chips and semiconductors, aiming to boost domestic production.
However, Trump did provide an ‘out’ – companies that are already building or have committed to building manufacturing facilities in the U.S. will be exempt. While the move is designed to encourage onshoring, it could raise prices on electronics, cars, appliances, and other consumer goods.

I wonder if some sort of vague promise to build in the US will be enough qualify for the exemption? Probably, would be my guess.
