US launches review of Nvidia sales to ChinaReuters, WASHINGTONUS President Donald Trump’s administration has launched a review that could result in the first shipments to China of Nvidia’s second-most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) chips, five sources said, making good on his pledge to allow the sales. Trump this month said he would allow sales of Nvidia’s H200 chips to China, with the US government collecting a 25 percent fee. The sales would help keep US firms ahead of Chinese chipmakers by cutting demand for Chinese chips. However, questions have remained about how quickly Washington might approve such sales and whether Beijing would allow Chinese firms to purchase the Nvidia chips. Trump had previously opened the door to sales of a less-advanced version of Nvidia’s Blackwell chips, its cutting-edge offering, but backed away from the move and approved sales of the H200 instead.
