President Trump has blocked one of the largest attempted acquisitions of a US company by a Chinese firm. Trump issued an executive order through the Defense Production Act of 1950, denying the Chinese-backed private equity firm Canyon Bridge Capital Partners from acquiring US-based chipmaker Lattice Semiconductor Corporation for $1.3 billion.
Trump stated that Canyon Bridge “shall take all steps necessary to fully and permanently abandon the proposed transaction,” Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin: "Consistent with the administration's commitment to take all actions necessary to ensure the protection of US national security, the president issued an order prohibiting the acquisition."
