Trump Administration Plans to Strengthen Chip Controls Over China
• The Trump administration plans to increase semiconductor restrictions on China, aiming to limit Beijing’s technological prowess.
• US officials met with Japanese and Dutch counterparts to restrict Tokyo Electron 8035 and ASML engineers from maintaining semiconductor gear in China.
• Some Trump officials also aim to limit the quantity and types of Nvidia NVDA chips that can be exported to China without a license.
• The goal is for key allies to align with the U.S. in imposing restrictions on China, similar to those placed on American chip gear companies.
