It is reported that, according to inside sources, the Trump administration has initiated an inter-agency review to authorize the export of Nvidia’s H200 AI chips to China, a move that reverses long-standing restrictions on high-end semiconductor sales. Under this proposal, the U.S. government would collect a 25% fee on the shipments, with President Trump arguing that providing American hardware will maintain U.S. technological dominance by reducing Chinese reliance on domestic chipmakers. The Department of Commerce has referred license applications to the State, Energy, and Defense Departments for a 30-day evaluation period; however, while officials emphasize the review will be rigorous, the final decision-making authority rests with the President. This shift marks a significant pivot from the previous administration’s policy of strictly limiting Chinese access to advanced technology to mitigate national security risks.
