"On Monday, President Trump said the United States will allow Nvidia to ship its H200 products to approved customers in China. There's some irony here, because Trump keeps talking about how important it is for the United States to stay dominant in defense and A.I. America is the country that started the A.I. race. The world's number one superpower in artificial intelligence, and we are way ahead of China. I have to say we will not allow any foreign nation to beat us."
"Chips like these increasingly power our daily lives, but our nation's military strength is especially dependent on them, and they fuel A.I. innovation. So selling state of the art chips to our biggest rival might not be the best idea, especially one pretty notorious for stealing intellectual property. None of that seems to matter to President Trump, who is very proud of the 25 percent cut"
President Trump announced permission for Nvidia to ship H200 chips to approved customers in China. H200-class chips fuel artificial intelligence development and are integral to national defense capabilities. Exporting state-of-the-art semiconductors to a strategic rival raises risks because of concerns about intellectual property theft and erosion of technological advantage. The deal includes a 25 percent U.S. cut, which may conflict with constitutional limits on export taxes. The administration's pattern of approving contested military and technology sales suggests a willingness to trade strategic assets for financial or political benefits. Other notable events this week included a Paramount hostile bid, Australia banning social media for children, and a judge ordering an end to California National Guard deployment.
