CHIP GROWTH HALTED IN MALAYSIA AMID US TARIFF THREATS
Malaysian chipmakers have frozen expansion plans as the US mulls a 25% tariff starting August 1.

Industry leaders urge the US to extend tariff exemptions — or risk derailing Asia’s semiconductor momentum.
Meanwhile, Trump targets Brazil and others with sweeping new tariff threats, fueling global trade tensions.
