# Trump Allows Nvidia Chip Sales to China

Nvidia will be allowed to sell H200 AI chips to “approved clients” in China and other countries, provided that the US government receives 25% of the profits. This was announced by President Donald Trump.

“The policy will help create jobs in the US, strengthen American manufacturing, and benefit taxpayers,” he stated.

Trump emphasized the goal of “maintaining America’s leadership in artificial intelligence.”

“American Nvidia customers are moving forward with their incredible, high-tech Blackwell chips, and soon Rubin as well. Neither of these is part of this deal,” the president stressed.

The Department of Commerce is finalizing the details of the agreement. A similar approach will be applied to AMD, Intel, and other companies.

Chinese President Xi Jinping “responded positively” to the proposal, Trump wrote.

In August, Nvidia and AMD agreed to share 15% of their chip sales revenue in China with the US government. Around the same time, the Chinese authorities warned against using the H20 processor, which Nvidia specifically developed for the country.

The H200 is a higher-end semiconductor, but it is not the American chipmaker’s top-of-the-line solution.

“We welcome President Trump’s decision to allow the US chip industry to compete in order to support high-paying jobs and manufacturing in the country,” commented an Nvidia representative.

According to him, selling the H200 in China “ensures a well-considered balance” that “works great for America.”

Recall that at the annual GTC conference, Nvidia announced new processors for creating and running AI models — Blackwell Ultra and Vera Rubin.
