Singapore is Caught in the Middle
Chipmakers in Singapore have slowed production and begun laying off workers, as the island-state has been caught between the U.S.-China trade war. Making the chips made up about a third of the country's manufacturing output last year. Semiconductor sales are expected to drop 12-13% globally this year, and Singapore in particular is often seen as a bellwether for the global economy. Reuters
