Singapore-based Broadcom Ltd withdrew its $117 billion bid to acquire Qualcomm Inc on Wednesday, two days after U.S. President Donald Trump blocked the attempt citing national security concerns.
The company said it has also withdrawn its slate of independent director nominees for Qualcomm’s annual shareholder meeting.
Broadcom, however, expects to continue with its plan to redomicile to the United States.
“Although we are disappointed with this outcome, Broadcom will comply with the order,” the chipmaker said.

Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire told RTL radio he had been made aware that Apple Inc. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google unilaterally imposed prices and contract changes on developers selling software on Google Play and Apple’s App Store.
“I will therefore be taking Google and Apple to the Paris commercial court for abusive trade practices,” Le Maire said.
“As powerful as they are, Google and Apple should not be able to treat our startups and our developers the way they currently do.”

I turerna runt Calendar 2 och att programmet hade en funktion för att generera den digitala valutan Monero så har Apple kritiserats för att inte ha agerat. Nu visar det sig att det var Apple som stoppade appen mindre en timme efter det att den nya funktionen blivit känd för Apple.
De första anklagelserna riktade mot Apple kom via Macrumors.
A Mac App Store app called Calendar 2 has been mining a digital coin known as Monero using customers’ machines, and Apple took no action against the app despite knowing about it for at least 24 hours.
…
Surprisingly enough, Apple has allowed the Calendar 2 app to remain available in the Mac App Store despite the fact that it openly embraces cryptocurrency mining. Ars Technicaasked Apple if the app violated App Store policies, but did not receive a response, and more than 24 hours after Ars contacted Apple, the app remains available for purchase in the Mac App Store.
Uppgiften fick snabbt spridning i sociala medier men nu visar det sig att det var Apple som stoppade Calendar 2.
Märkligt
Det är märkligt att Macrumors, som ju inte är en nystartad nyhetsblogg utan som funnits med ett tag, inte lärt sig läxan att Apple, precis som många andra företag, har en avdelning för frågor från medier och en helt annan avdelning som hanterar appar och program.
Macrumors antyder att så snart som Ars Technica ställt frågor till Apple så skulle företaget blixtsnabbt ha reagerat och både besvarat frågorna samt stoppat det aktuella programmet. Allt skulle ha sett samordnat tydligen.
Till saken hör att Apple dagligen får in ett mycket stort antal förfrågningar från medierna.
