Trump administration considers additional restrictions on Nvidia chip sales

Trump administration officials are exploring additional restrictions on Nvidia's chip sales to China, according to sources, who stressed that the talks are still in the preliminary stages as the new team works through policy priorities. Officials are focused on expanding the restrictions to cover Nvidia's H20 chip, which can be used to develop and run artificial intelligence software and services and is a scaled-down version designed to meet existing U.S. restrictions on exports to China. Given that the Trump administration has only just begun staffing the relevant departments, a decision on any restrictions could take a long time to make, the people added.
