US President Donald Trump announced on Monday, December 8, that the United States will allow tech giant Nvidia to ship its advanced H200 artificial intelligence chips to what he called "approved customers" in China, under new regulatory conditions aimed at ensuring continued US control over sensitive technologies.
Trump explained in a post on the Truth Social platform that Chinese President Xi Jinping had responded positively to the proposal, paving the way for a move that is considered one of the biggest shifts in technology export policy between the two countries, after more than a year of strict restrictions on the export of advanced chips to China.
Trump noted that 25% of chip sales would go directly to the US government , arguing that this measure would ensure "continued national security strength" and maintain US control over the vital artificial intelligence supply chain.
While there has been no official comment from the White House so far, CNBC reported that it did not receive an immediate response to its request for clarification.
Reuters also quoted Trump as saying that the U.S. Commerce Department was finalizing regulatory details, adding that the same approach would be applied to other U.S. companies, including AMD and Intel , so that 25% of sales of advanced chips would also be paid to the United States.
These developments come at a time of increasing technological competition between Washington and Beijing, as Chinese AI companies ramp up demand for advanced graphics processors following a previous wave of export restrictions, opening the door to a new phase of conditional cooperation.
