US President Donald Trump said on Monday that the US will allow Nvidia to ship its H200 artificial intelligence chips to approved customers in China, marking the latest lobbying win for the American chip company.
The decision follows weeks of deliberations by the Trump administration about whether to grant permission to ship the H200 to China. It comes days after Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang met with Trump in Washington to discuss US export controls.
“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,” Trump said in a post on the Truth Social platform, noting that the Chinese president had “responded positively”.
Twenty-five per cent will be “paid” to the US, Trump continued, adding that the Commerce Department was finalising details and that the same approach will apply to AMD, Intel and other US companies.
