A Washington official has made the most direct comments by a US authority to date acknowledging the existence of a deal with Japan and the Netherlands for those countries to impose new restrictions on exports of chipmaking tools to China.

Bloomberg reported on Friday an agreement had been finalised and two people familiar with the matter later confirmed the news to Reuters.

For the restrictions to be effective, Washington needed to bring on board the Netherlands and Japan, home to major chipmakers ASML and Tokyo Electron, among others.

Officials from the Netherlands and Japan were in Washington discussing a wide range of issues in talks led by White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan on Friday.
