"When the United States considers selling a C-130 or a fighter jet, or an engine that goes on one of those airframes, or ordnance that goes on the wing of a jet, or the avionics that go in a cockpit, or anything that has military use, it goes through a process known as the foreign military sales process,"

President Trump approved the sale of Nvidia H200 GPUs to China, prompting Republican House members to propose legislation requiring congressional review of sensitive AI chip exports. Rep. Brian Mast introduced the AI Overwatch Act to give the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Banking Committee at least 30 days to review and potentially block exports to adversary nations. The House Foreign Affairs Committee advanced the measure with a favorable recommendation. Mast compared the proposed review process to existing foreign military sales oversight and argued that GPUs and accelerators can have military applications, not merely consumer gaming uses. Other Republican lawmakers, including Rep. John Moolenaar, have voiced similar concerns to the Commerce Department.
