Enhanced Semiconductor Sanctions: Trump Aims to Strengthen Measures Against China

Amid rising tensions, former President Donald Trump is poised to introduce a new wave of sanctions targeting China's semiconductor sector, significantly extending the current restrictions put in place under President Biden. These potential measures seek to amplify existing limits on technology exports, with a particular focus on semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Collaborating closely with international allies, notably Japan and the Netherlands, Trump's approach aims to curb China's technological advancements within artificial intelligence and military domains. As a result, the implications reach far into the consumer electronics market, where smartphones and tablets from overseas rely heavily on these crucial semiconductor chips.
