We're very happy with our current status in Arizona -- so we decided to increase the investment in Arizona."</p><p>"There are physical constraints, the number of construction workers available, the infrastructures available. Those parts will -- some of that depends on -- we'll work closely with the government to solve these issues."</p><p>Chief Financial Officer Wendell Huang said on Friday (July 17) the company is "very happy" with progress in Arizona, which is why it decided to ramp up investment to $265 billion, during an interview.
