Sullivan is making his first visit to Beijing on Tuesday. Trudeau said Canada also will impose a 25% tariff on Chinese steel and aluminum. “Actors like China have chosen to give themselves an unfair advantage in the global marketplace,” he said.

Netherlands-based ASML ASML makes some of the world’s most advanced chipmaking equipment — and it could soon lose access to business in one of its most important markets. The Dutch government under Prime Minister Dick Schoof reportedly does not plan to renew certain licenses at the end of the year for ASML ASML to repair machines and provide spare parts for customers in China. This is expected to impact ASML’s deep ultraviolet lithography, or DUV, machines, Bloomberg reported, citing unnamed people familiar with the matter. The company’s advanced chipmaking machines come with maintenance agreements to keep them operating, and limiting ASML’s ability to repair the machines could leave some of them unable to run by next year, according to Bloomberg.
