Trump administration fell in front of plans To block the Nvidia (Nvda,, Financial) H20 Artificial Intelligence of fleas to be shipped to China, after a private dinner between CEO Jensen Huang and President Donald Trump in Mar-A-Lago, according to National Public Radio. The NVIDIa’s H20 chip was a few days to be struck with new export restrictions. The chip, tailor-made for the Chinese market under existing United States rules, had raised concerns in Washington about advanced technology that flows to the Chinese AI sector.
But after last week’s meeting in Florida, the atmosphere changed. Huang would have promised new investments in AI infrastructure based in the United States, including data centers. This promise seems to have softened the position of the administration.
The proposed repression had been underway for months. Trump and Biden administrations had planned to slow down the exports of ia fleas to China, citing national security risks. In January, the legislators of the two parties led to stricter orders.
Despite the pressure, the demand for the H20 only developed. The startup of Chinese AI Deepseek, known for its models for the budget, has aroused strong interest. Big names like Bytedance, Alibaba Group (Baba,, Financial), and Tencent would have ordered more than $ 16 billion in chips in the first quarter of 2025, according to information.
Neither the White House nor Nvidia publicly commented on a quarter of work. But the decision indicates a familiar compromise: to ensure national technological advantages while keeping competitive American companies at home.
