The Trump administration has reached an agreement with Nvidia Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. that will allow both companies to resume selling certain artificial-intelligence chips to Chinese customers, undoing export curbs imposed over the past two years. According to a New York Times report cited in a JD Supra briefing, the U.S. government will take 15 percent of the revenue the two chipmakers earn from their China sales. The deal permits Nvidia to ship its H20 accelerators—ranked below its most advanced “Blackwell” processors—while the strictest limitations on top-tier hardware remain in place. Several Senate Democrats have criticized the arrangement, saying it risks eroding national-security safeguards intended to slow China’s progress in high-performance computing. The lawmakers are pressing the Commerce Department for details on how the new revenue-sharing mechanism addresses those security concerns. Industry analysts warn that restoring a key supply line to the world’s largest electronics market could reshape the global AI race. The policy shift comes as Washington simultaneously courts partners in the Middle East and elsewhere to reinforce U.S. leadership in chip design and AI infrastructure.
