There's generally a strong preference for those basic chips to use planar nodes. This limits them to 28nm for TSMC and 22nm for GlobalFoundries (22FDX+ fab is actually in Dresden, but they announced plans to add a second 22FDX+ fab in New York).

I do agree that more fabs in the US is better than fewer though.
