New U.S. restrictions could prevent leading chip manufacturers from installing chipmaking tools in their China fabs. The U.S. government is considering cancelling the validated end-user (VEU) program for multinational chipmakers, which would adversely affect companies such as Samsung, SK hynix, and TSMC, which operate fabs in China. This decision by the U.S. depends on whether the announced trade deal with China fails, Reuters reports citing people familiar with the matter. There are no revokes of VEUs, as yet, but the government has this in place as a just-in-case scenario.
