Six Senate Democrats are urging President Trump to reverse his decision to permit sales of advanced supercomputing chips to China, raising national security concerns. The senators referenced a recent statement from Trump about a deal with chipmakers NVIDIA and AMD that allows a 15% fee on sales to China. They seek clarity on the negotiation process, the entities involved, and how the fee will be assessed. The lawmakers emphasized the importance of maintaining a competitive edge in AI technology against adversaries like China and its implications for U.S. military readiness and innovation.
A cornerstone of U.S. artificial intelligence strategy for years has been to protect America's advantage in AI computing capability and access to leading-edge hardware, compared to the PRC and other key adversaries.
Lawmakers are seeking to understand the entities involved in negotiating the sale of advanced chips to China and the mechanism for collecting the 15% fee.
