US considering curbs on exports to China made with US software: Reuters
The U.S. plans to restrict exports of products made with American software, including semiconductors and aerospace systems, to counter China's rare earth export limits.
- The United States is considering a sweeping plan to curb exports to China made with or containing U.S. software, targeting products including laptops and jet engines, Reuters reports.
- In retaliation for Beijing's rare earth controls, President Donald Trump earlier pledged 100% tariffs on Chinese exports and to block `critical software` exports by Nov 1.
- Analysts note the plan would mirror previous Russia curbs, targeting semiconductors, AI processors, aerospace systems and consumer electronics, while extending Washington’s reach into global supply chains.
- Among stocks, chipmakers and EDA firms were hit, with the S&P 500 falling 0.6% below 6,700 and the Nasdaq 100 dropping 1.2% to 24,820, Benzinga Pro data shows Synopsys down 1.97% to $452.70 and KLA dipping to $1,109.75 M.
- A White House official declined to comment, the Commerce Department did not respond, and China's embassy in Washington opposed U.S. `long-arm jurisdiction` ahead of a scheduled meeting later this month.
