US president gives green signal for Nvidia shipments to China
Trump says Nvidia will be allowed to supply its H200 artificial intelligence chips to ‘approved customers’ in China and other markets
WASHINGTON, United States (MNTV) — US President Donald Trump has cleared the way for Nvidia to export its advanced H200 artificial intelligence chips to select buyers in China and other foreign markets, linking each approved shipment to a 25% payment to the United States.
Trump framed the move as a major boost for American jobs and domestic manufacturing, presenting it as a reversal of what he described as overly restrictive controls imposed by the previous administration.
Announcing the decision, Trump said he personally conveyed the policy to Chinese President Xi Jinping, calling it a new chapter in US-China technological and commercial relations.
The administration described the policy as a strategic recalibration rather than a full relaxation of export restrictions.
Under the new framework, each authorized H200 shipment will carry what Trump described as a “25% payment to the United States of America,” which he argued would ensure American taxpayers directly benefit from high-value semiconductor exports.
Writing on his Truth Social platform, he said the payments would help strengthen domestic production and protect American workers.
Trump sharply criticized the export-control regime established under former President Joe Biden, saying it forced American firms to design downgraded chips for the Chinese market — products he argued were commercially weak and technologically inefficient.
“That era is over,” Trump said, insisting the sector should return to building globally competitive, high-performance hardware.
He stressed that the policy does not apply to Nvidia’s most advanced processors currently reserved for the US market, including the Blackwell series and the forthcoming Rubin architecture, stating that “neither of which are part of this deal.”
The US Commerce Department is now preparing the technical licensing guidelines that will govern how Nvidia and other American semiconductor companies, including AMD and Intel, may apply for similar export approvals under the revised system.
