Why is Trump allowing Nvidia chip exports to China?

Asked 8 hours ago

Answer

Trump allows Nvidia to export H200 chips to China to generate U.S. revenue and maintain some market access, but only for less advanced chips and with financial surcharges. National security concerns and political objections persist, and the approval excludes Nvidia's most advanced technology.
