Analysis-New ASML boss Fouquet must navigate US/China chip war
ASML's new boss Christophe Fouquet faces a tricky balancing act in helping to steer Europe's biggest tech company through the US/China "chip war", while maintaining the group's lead over rivals and managing the current AI boom. Fouquet, whose appointment as CEO was approved at the semiconductor equipment maker's annual meeting on Wednesday, inherits a company that is profitable and dominant in its field, but potential pitfalls abound. Export restrictions imposed by the United States and the Netherlands mean the upper half of ASML's product range cannot be sold in China, one of its biggest markets.

Cuba says state airline cancelled flights after Argentina denied it fuel
Argentine jet fuel providers in Buenos Aires refused to service Cuban state airline Cubana this week citing concerns over U.S. trade sanctions on Cuba, the Havana-based carrier said late on Wednesday, prompting multiple unexpected flight cancellations. Cubana de Aviacion S.A., which operates flights within Cuba and to various cities internationally, said it had cancelled flights on April 23 and 24, as well as other flights contracted to partner airlines, forcing the company to rebook passengers or provide refunds. "This decision is due to the refusal of aviation fuel supply companies in the Republic of Argentina to provide service to the airline, invoking the provisions of the United States blockade measures against Cuba," the airline said in a brief statement.
