The acquisition was completed on April 30, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The president said in the order that \u201cthere is credible evidence\u201d that HieFo, through its acquisition of Emcore\u2019s assets, \u201cmight take action that threatens to impair the national security of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the Times, HieFo has 180 days to divest itself of the assets in question, unless the date is extended by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). This decision comes after CFIUS found that the transaction posed a national security risk. The committee feared that Emcore chips could be diverted from the U.S.\n<\/p>\n<p>The Times also notes that this is not the first deal President Trump has blocked. He issued a similar order in July blocking Suirui International Co.\u2019s acquisition of Delaware-based Jupiter Systems. In this case too CFIUS identified national security concerns, fearing Jupiter\u2019s products could be used \u201cin military and critical infrastructure environments.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>Though President Trump does not appear to have blocked the sale of Nvidia H200 chips to China we warned about, this story shows that he is taking deals like these very seriously. China would like nothing more than to surpass us in tech and AI, but President Trump seems determined to keep that from happening.\n<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s thank God for this decision, and let\u2019s pray for President Trump as he deals with China!\n<\/p>\n<h4>Share your praises and prayers below.<\/h4>\n<p>(Excerpt from The Epoch Times.
