President Trump Monday ordered Singapore-based Broadcom to abandon its $117 billion hostile bid for Qualcomm, blocking what would have been one of the biggest technology deals in history.
In his presidential order, Trump said the takeover "threatens to impair the national security of the United States." The merger would have put one of America’s biggest mobile chipmakers in the hands of a company based in Asia, a region that has been racing to develop the next generation of mobile technology.
