Shares in the semiconductor sector ended Tuesday's trading day down, weighed down by US President Donald Trump's announcement of new tariffs on chip imports. BE Semiconductor, with 18% of its revenue coming from the US, suffered the biggest fall of 2.3%. VAT Group and STMicroelectronics also fell 0.9% each. Despite those declines, European stock markets closed slightly higher, except for France's CAC 40 index, which lost 0.1%. Investors remain wary of the risks of trade protectionism.
