Trump Endorses Nvidia’s Sale of Advanced AI Chips to China
Nvidia has gained approval from the White House to export its H200 AI GPU chips. This approval applies to “approved customers” in China and select other countries. President Donald Trump announced this development via a Truth Social post.
Details of the Nvidia Agreement
The recent deal allows Nvidia to sell H200 chips, under specific conditions aimed at maintaining national security. Trump highlighted that the U.S. government will collect a 25 percent commission on these sales, a notable increase from the previous 15 percent cut proposed in August.
Benefits of the Deal
According to Trump, this agreement will provide multiple benefits:
- Support for American jobs
- Strengthening of U.S. manufacturing
- Advantages for American taxpayers
Furthermore, Trump noted that Nvidia’s U.S. customers are advancing their innovative Blackwell chips. Notably, these chips are not included in the current agreement.
Impact on U.S.-China Relations
This decision marks a significant moment in the ongoing dialogue between the United States and China regarding technology exports. The sale of advanced AI chips has implications for both economic and geopolitical landscapes.
As Nvidia prepares to proceed with the H200 chip sales, all eyes will be on how this move affects the industry and international relations moving forward.
