Trump approves Nvidia H200 shipments to China, says ‘will protect national security, create American jobs’

The U.S. government will allow Nvidia to export its H200 artificial intelligence chips to China, collecting a 25% fee for each chip, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday. The decision appears to settle a U.S. debate about whether Nvidia and rivals would maintain their global lead in AI chips by selling to China or withholding chips, though Beijing has told companies not to use U.S. technology, leaving it unclear whether Trump’s decision would lead to new sales.
