Nvidia CEO visits White House to seek licenses for ‘designed-for China’ AI chips, here’s what made him personally lobby with Donald Trump

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently visited the White House to personally lobby President Donald Trump, a report claims. This visit has reportedly led to the US Commerce Department beginning to issue licenses for the H20 AI chips, which are designed specifically for China. The move follows weeks of inaction by the government. According to a report by the Financial Times, a US official has confirmed that the Bureau of Industry and Security, which manages export controls within the Commerce Department, has now started issuing the licenses for the H20 chip after Huang’s visit. Nvidia developed this chip specifically for the Chinese market after the Biden administration imposed export controls on more advanced AI chips.
