The United States considered last year blocking the export of Taiwanese microchips to Russia due to its war in Ukraine but ultimately decided against doing so, said U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo on Feb. 23.

“A year ago, we led a coalition of 36 countries to align export controls against Russia,” said Raimondo at an event at Georgetown University in Washington.
