Senator Chuck Schumer, the top Democrat in the U.S. Senate, on Tuesday praised President Donald`s Trump`s decision to block chipmaker Broadcom Ltd`s proposed takeover of Qualcomm Inc, calling China`s trade practices "rapacious."
Trump on Monday blocked Broadcom`s effort to buy Qualcomm on national security grounds, ending what would have been the technology industry`s biggest deal ever amid concerns that it would give China the upper hand in mobile communications.
"President Trump and his administration made the right decision on blocking Broadcom from taking over Qualcomm," Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said in a speech on the Senate floor.
