""I have informed President Xi, of China, that the United States will allow NVIDIA to ship its H200 products to approved customers in China, and other Countries, under conditions that allow for continued strong National Security," Trump wrote in a Monday post to his social network, Truth Social. "President Xi responded positively!" he added, before stating "$25% will be paid to the United States of America" - a seeming reference to past suggestions that the administration would charge license fees on chip exports to China."
""These items and capabilities are used by the PRC to produce advanced military systems including weapons of mass destruction; improve the speed and accuracy of its military decision making, planning, and logistics, as well as of its autonomous military systems; and commit human rights abuses," the Bureau of Industry and Security stated [PDF] in October 2022. The Biden administration did allow export of modest accelerators, notably Nvidia's H20 devices."
Trump signalled that the United States will allow Nvidia to resume sales of its H200 accelerators to approved customers in China under conditions claimed to protect national security. He informed President Xi, who he said responded positively, and indicated 25% would be paid to the United States. The announcement provided no operational details on national security safeguards. The Bureau of Industry and Security warned that advanced accelerators can aid military systems and human rights abuses. The Biden administration previously restricted exports but allowed modest H20 shipments; Nvidia valued lost H20 sales to China at $10.5 billion. Trump described prior export policy as a failure and said the new policy applies only to H200 accelerators.
