Nvidia is a U.S company (Santa Clara, on the east side of the silicon valley). They are a fabless company, so drivers and design are done in house, but actual chip production is outsourced.
Its extremely hard for companies to manage both design and manufacture(fabs), and the only companies who do both are Intel, Samsung, Texas Instruments (non bleeding edge), and the newish companies in China.
When you have companies like Apple with their M1 or Google with their pixel processors, they do not manufacture them theirselves, only design and outsource manufacturing, as it takes billions in investments to fund research and maintain fabs to be bleeding edge.
