The Trump administration is exploring tougher semiconductor controls against China, seeking to strengthen existing restrictions imposed by President Joe Biden’s administration. US officials met with Japanese and Dutch counterparts to discuss curbs on companies like Tokyo Electron Ltd. and ASML Holding NV, which maintain gear in China. The goal is for key allies to match the US curbs on American chip-gear firms, including Lam Research Corp., KLA Corp., and Applied Materials Inc. The move signals a shift towards further limiting Beijing’s technological capabilities.
