--FILE--People visit the stand of Qualcomm during the First China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai, China, 7 November 2018. Qualcomm Inc. ruled out any chance of a return to its abandoned bid for NXP Semiconductors NV after U.S. and Chinese political leaders appeared to open the way for possible approval of the transaction. "While we were grateful to learn of President Trump and President Xi's comments about Qualcomm's previously proposed acquisition of NXP, the deadline for that transaction has expired, which terminated the contemplated deal, " the company said in an emailed statement. "Qualcomm considers the matter closed and is fully focused on continuing to execute on its 5G roadmap." Over the weekend, the White House said President Xi Jinping said he would consider approving a possible deal for Qualcomm to purchase NXP if it's brought to him again. Qualcomm scrapped its proposed $44 billion bid for rival chip-maker NXP in July after an almost two-year wait for approval, as tensions between the U.S. and China escalated. Chinese regulators declined to clear the deal, though the country later expressed regret over the transaction¯s collapse.
