Trump administration backs off Nvidia’s ‘H20’ chip crackdown after Mar-a-Lago dinner The White House was expected to ban sales of the high-performance AI chip to China. Chinese companies had been stockpiling the chip but now the Trump administration is backing off. This spring, once back in office, Trump reversed course , allowing Nvidia to sell H20 chips to China, pausing plans for additional restrictions. “While we haven’t shipped H20 to China for months, we hope export control rules will let America compete in China and worldwide,” Nvidia’s statement said. In July, Chinese regulators met Nvidia representatives to ask about possible “back doors” and other security risks in the H20.
