Trump pushes to allow Nvidia AI chip exports to China, draws backlash from Washington hawks
U.S. President Donald Trump is seeking to allow exports of Nvidia’s high-performance AI chips to China, CNBC reported on Jan. 22, drawing strong pushback from China hawks in Washington. Republicans are also voicing opposition as the House Foreign Affairs Committee advances legislation to strengthen congressional oversight. Rep. Brian Mast introduced a bill to make AI chip exports subject to congressional approval, potentially voiding existing export permits.
