Senior officials in the Trump administration agreed to new measures to restrict the global supply of chips to Huawei Technologies, according to reporting by Reuters.

The proposal, which was reportedly drafted but not approved last month, posits a change to US regulations that would mean foreign companies that use US chipmaking equipment would be required to obtain a US license before supplying certain chips to Huawei. This would permit the US to intercept shipments of chips to Huawei Technologies from companies such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC), the world’s largest contract chipmaker.
