Trump Approves Nvidia H200 Chip Sales

President Donald Trump said Monday he will allow Nvidia to sell the H200 AI accelerator chip to “approved customers” in China, while excluding Nvidia’s top-tier Blackwell and upcoming Rubin chips. Trump framed the move as supporting American jobs and manufacturing and said the Commerce Department is finalizing similar approvals for AMD and Intel.
