"Nvidia has received White House approval to start exporting its H200 AI GPU chips to "approved customers" in China and other countries, according to President Donald Trump. In a Truth Social post on Monday, Trump said the deal comes with "conditions that allow for continued strong national security," and that the US will take a 25 percent cut of the GPU sales - higher than the 15 percent cut that was demanded in August."
"While the Trump administration lifted AI chip export limits in May, a group of senators urged the President last month to continue denying China access to Nvidia's most powerful chips in an effort to preserve the US's leading position in AI. The new approvals further reward Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's efforts to suck up to the White House, but rely on China actually wanting to purchase Nvidia's chips - something it's barred Chinese companies from doing in favor of supporting domestic chip manufacturing."
The White House approved Nvidia to export H200 AI GPU chips to approved customers in China and other countries under conditions intended to preserve strong national security. The U.S. government will take a 25 percent cut of GPU sales, higher than the previously demanded 15 percent. The H200 is an upgrade from the scaled-down H20 already permitted for China but is less powerful than Nvidia's flagship Blackwell GPUs. The policy is described as supporting American jobs, manufacturing, and taxpayers. Some senators urged continued restrictions to protect U.S. AI leadership. Sales depend on whether China chooses to buy rather than prioritize domestic chipmakers.
