Trump: Only American companies deserve to get NVIDIA chips technology

See the American President Donald Trump Only American companies deserve to obtain the most advanced artificial intelligence chips from…NVIDIAHe added that companies from China and other countries will not obtain these chips, according to the Reuters report.

Trump’s comments came in an interview broadcast on CBS on board Air Force One.

Trump said: “We will not allow anyone other than the United States to obtain the most advanced chips. We will not give the Blackwell chip to other people.”

Trump’s statements indicate his intention to impose export restrictions on the most advanced NVIDIA chipsets, as it appears that the US government intends to include the rest of the world in the restrictions applied to Chinese companies regarding chipsets.

It is noteworthy that the Trump administration tried to reduce the restrictions imposed on NVIDIA and the export of artificial intelligence chips last July, in an effort to expand American influence in the field of artificial intelligence, which is in direct contradiction with Trump’s new statements.

Also, last week, “NVIDIA” revealed its intention to export 260,000 “Blackwell” chips to South Korea and its leading companies, including “Samsung“.

While Trump refused to sell the most advanced chips to Chinese companies, he left the door open for Chinese companies to obtain older generations of artificial intelligence chips, adding: “We will let them deal with NVIDIA.”

The prospect of selling Nvidia’s leading chips has sparked widespread discontent among those who fear Chinese companies, as they believe that these chips are being used to enhance China’s military capabilities and compete with American companies.

Republican Congressman John Moolenaar, who chairs the Special Committee on China in the House of Representatives, believes that giving China advanced NVIDIA cards is similar to giving uranium to Iran and enabling them to make nuclear weapons.

For its part, NVIDIA believes that its current presence in China is unwelcome, so the company did not seek to obtain a license to export chipsets to China. Jensen Huang, the company’s CEO, added that selling chipsets in China is necessary to develop existing research and development operations in the United States.

Trump did not discuss the chipset crisis with Chinese President Xi Jinping during their joint summit in South Korea, according to Trump himself and a Reuters report.
