Qualcomm's proposed $44 billion takeover of Dutch chipmaker NXP has become a casualty of the US trade war with China.

Qualcomm on Wednesday didn't extend its deadline for closing the deal, opting instead to buy back up to $30 billion in shares from investors. The deal had been on hold for nearly two years as China mulled the regulatory implications of the combined company.
