China's SMIC says Trump tariffs did not cause expected 'hard landing'
By Che Pan and Joe Cash BEIJING (Reuters) -China's top foundry SMIC's co-CEO said on Friday that U.S. tariff policy had not resulted in the "hard landing" that the company was initially worried about and that strong domestic demand will keep its production capacity tight until October. Zhao Haijun, co-CEO of Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC), told a post-earnings call that the company is not consulting with customers regarding U.S. President Donald Trump's 100% tariff plan on chip imports but expects the impact could be smaller due to contingency plans that had been made after tariffs were announced in April. China raised additional duties on U.S. goods to 125% in April after Trump effectively raised tariffs on Chinese goods to 145%. Trump said on Wednesday the United States will impose a tariff of about 100% on imports of semiconductors, although that will not apply to companies that are manufacturing in the U.S. or have committed to do so. SMIC was blacklisted by the U.S. commerce department in 2020. China is the dominant market for SMIC, accounting for 84% of its revenue in the second quarter, unchanged from the first quarter, while the U.S. contributed 12.9%, slightly up from 12.6%. SMIC's second-quarter revenue rose 16.2% year-on-year to $2.2 billion. Its profit attributable to owners of SMIC declined 19.5% to $132.5 million, missing analysts' estimates of $183.35 million, according to LSEG data. SMIC's Hong Kong-traded shares were down more than 5% on Friday. Zhao said the previous rounds of tariffs resulted in less than 10% of cost increases at its overseas customers. "After these past few months, everyone has either stocked up enough inventory for this year and next year, or found other suppliers," Zhao said, "So I think the impact will become even smaller." Zhao said SMIC's production capacity remains insufficient and would remain tight until October due to robust demand from domestic substitution.

Israeli Security Cabinet Approves Netanyahu's Plan To Occupy Gaza City
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Israel's Security Cabinet approved a plan to occupy Gaza City, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in a statement cited by The Associated Press. The decision early Friday came after Netanyahu said Israel planned to occupy all of the Gaza Strip and eventually hand off control of it to friendly Arab forces opposed to Hamas. But the plans announced Friday stopped short of that, the AP reported, citing continued reservations by Israel's top general about the safety of remaining hostages being held in Gaza, as well as concerns about further strain on the Israel Defense Forces. Friday's decision by the Security Cabinet capped months of failed ceasefire talks between Netanyahu's government and Hamas, with both sides accusing each other of repeated violations. Israel has also faced increased international pressure to reach a ceasefire deal as Hamas released videos showing emaciated Israeli hostages being held in Gaza, which the group said was the result of Israel's blockade of humanitarian aid to the war-torn territory. Netanyahu said after the videos were released that he would convene a Cabinet meeting to discuss how Israel can meet the three main goals he set out for the war: defeating Hamas, returning the hostages and ensuring Gaza doesn't pose a threat to Israel. But the prime minister has faced opposition, including from within his own country, to increasing the IDF's operations in the Gaza Strip. Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed since Israel launched its counteroffensive in the territory following Hamas' devastating October 7, 2023, attack that claimed the lives of as many as 1,200 Israelis, most of whom were civilians. Expanding military operations in Gaza would put the lives of countless Palestinians and the roughly 20 remaining Israeli hostages at risk while further isolating Israel internationally. Israel already controls around three quarters of the devastated territory. This is a breaking news story. Updates to follow. The Associated Press contributed reporting to this story.
