President Trump’s decision to allow Nvidia to sell its chips to China has raised questions about whether he is prioritizing short-term economic gain over long-term American security interests.
Beijing is set to limit access to Nvidia's advanced H200 chips despite U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to allow the export of the technology to China, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing two people with knowledge of the matter.
The suspect allegedly tried to illegally export Nvidia’s H100 and H200 GPUs to China. Ironically, President Trump said this week that the US will now let Nvidia sell its H200 GPU in China.
The announcement ended what has effectively been a ban on AI chip sales to the world's second-largest economy and America's strategic adversary.
Nvidia has built location verification technology that could indicate which country its chips are operating in, according to sources familiar with the matter, a move that could help prevent its artificial intelligence chips from being smuggled into countries where their export is banned.
President Trump says he will allow Nvidia to sell its H200 computer chip used in the development of artificial intelligence to 'approved customers' in China.
The US may ease export curbs on Nvidia’s H200 chip to China, as investors question its AI dominance and Chinese rivals race to build their own GPUs.
President Trump’s move fulfills a major goal of the chipmaker. But the move faces opposition in Washington — and uncertainty in Beijing.
