Whitepaper | Sanctions & Strategic Competition: Navigating the Trump 2.0 Era

Over the past eight years, U.S.-China trade and technology relations have undergone a significant shift, shaped by the policies of both the Trump and Biden administrations. A key aspect of this transformation
has been the increasing use of export controls by the United States, particularly in the semiconductor sector.

Given the critical role of computing power in artificial intelligence („AI“) and other advanced technologies, these measures reflect broader strategic concerns about technological competitiveness and national security.

With the possibility of new policy shifts on the horizon, this whitepaper provides stakeholders with an analysis of the regulatory framework governing U.S. export controls and investment restrictions. By examining
these developments, the article aims to offer insights into the factors shaping trade and technology relations in the years ahead.
