Trump announces plan to allow Nvidia to ship H200 chips to China

Donald Trump

US President Donald Trump said he has informed Chinese President Xi Jinping that the United States will permit NVIDIA to export its H200 artificial-intelligence chips to select customers in China, as long as the shipments comply with national-security safeguards.

Taking to Truth Social, Trump wrote, "I have informed President Xi, of China, that the United States will allow NVIDIA to ship its H200 products to approved customers in China, and other Countries, under conditions that allow for continued strong National Security."

"President Xi responded positively! $25% will be paid to the United States of America. This policy will support American Jobs, strengthen U.S. Manufacturing, and benefit American Taxpayers. The Biden Administration forced our Great Companies to spend BILLIONS OF DOLLARS building “degraded” products that nobody wanted, a terrible idea that slowed Innovation, and hurt the American Worker," he added.

"That Era is OVER! We will protect National Security, create American Jobs, and keep America’s lead in AI. NVIDIA’s U.S. Customers are already moving forward with their incredible, highly advanced Blackwell chips, and soon, Rubin, neither of which are part of this deal. My Administration will always put America FIRST. The Department of Commerce is finalizing the details, and the same approach will apply to AMD, Intel, and other GREAT American Companies. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" the US President further wrote.

Trump said the Department of Commerce is finalizing the policy and that similar rules will apply to other major American chipmakers. “The same approach will apply to AMD, Intel, and other GREAT American Companies,” he said.
