THE CHIP SECURITY ACT AWAITS CONSIDERATION BY THE FULL HOUSE AND THE SENATE

German officials are mapping U.S. supply-chain vulnerabilities to identify potential leverage in future disputes with President Donald Trump, as part of a broader European effort to reassess transatlantic ties.

Officials also see leverage in Europe’s role in pharmaceuticals, chemicals and investment flows, while more extreme measures are viewed as unlikely due to potential economic and security fallout.
