Trump Weighing Advanced Nvidia Chip Sales to China, Lutnick Says

President Donald Trump is weighing whether to allow Nvidia Corp. to sell advanced artificial intelligence chips to China and will be the one to make a final decision on the matter, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said.

The president is hearing from “lots of different advisers” in deciding on the potential exports, Lutnick said in a Bloomberg TV interview on Monday, noting that Trump understands Chinese President Xi Jinping “the best.” Bloomberg News had reported on Friday that US officials are having early discussions on whether Nvidia can sell its H200 artificial intelligence chips to China.
