The U.S. administration is poised to make a significant decision by May 15 regarding the implementation of a comprehensive semiconductor trade control framework. This policy, initiated under the Biden administration, aims to restrict the export of advanced chips to various countries. If enforced, the framework would allow only a select group of close U.S. allies to purchase chips without restrictions, while most other countries would be subject to strict quotas or outright bans on chip imports. This move is expected to have far-reaching implications for the global semiconductor industry and international trade dynamics.
