> Does this mean moving to US based fabs for the M-series chips?

This is not really a practical option. A big part of the M-series success is TSMC's lead in cutting edge process nodes. And Taiwan does not allow export of technology for the latest nodes. It is available only there.

Developed, sure. Successfully integrated and commercialized, no. Organizations in US and Europe has done a lot of the prerequisite tooling and research. But they haven't successfully integrated it into an operation capable of producing leading nodes, yet.
