US President Donald Trump asserted that only American companies should be the beneficiaries of the advanced Artificial Intelligence chips produced by NVIDIA, emphasizing that these technologies will not be available to Chinese or other foreign companies, according to a report by Reuters.
Tightening Export Restrictions
Exclusive US Access: Trump's remarks were made during a CBS interview aboard the presidential aircraft. He stated: "We will not let anyone outside the United States get the most advanced chips... We will not give the Blackwell chip to anyone else."
Scope of the Ban: Trump's statements signal his administration's intention to impose new export restrictions on advanced NVIDIA chips (like the Blackwell) to include other countries besides China, which is already subject to strict limitations in this sector.
Reversal of Earlier Stance: This new direction contrasts with earlier discussions held last July, where the Trump administration was considering easing restrictions on NVIDIA to expand US influence in the AI sector.
Exceptions and Security Concerns
Older Generations Accessible: Despite his insistence on blocking the export of the most advanced chips to China, Trump indicated that Chinese companies might still be able to acquire older generations of AI chips, saying: "We will let them deal with NVIDIA."
Concerns over Chinese Military Capability: This debate has raised fears among some US Congress members that these chips could contribute to bolstering Chinese military capabilities.
Uranium Analogy: Republican Representative John Moolenaar, Chairman of the House Select Committee on China, compared granting Beijing access to advanced NVIDIA chips to "giving uranium to Iran to enable them to make nuclear weapons."
South Korea Exception: These statements come despite NVIDIA recently announcing plans to export approximately 260,000 Blackwell chips to South Korea, including major companies like Samsung.
