Donald Trump says Nvidia will send the H200 chip to certain customers in China and will pay 25% to the U.S.

New York .- U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that he will allow the technology company Nvidia to send its H200 artificial intelligence (AI) chip to “approved customers” in China and will pay 25% of those sales to the United States. Trump wrote on Truth Social that he has informed his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, that Washington will “allow Nvidia to send its H200 products to approved customers in China” and to other countries “under conditions” that protect its national security. The leader, who assured that Xi has “responded positively,” added that “25% will be paid to the US,” referring to Nvidia’s H200 sales, and clarified that this agreement does not affect other AI chips like Blackwell and Rubin. “The Commerce Department is finalizing the details and this same approach will apply to AMD, Intel and other major US companies,” Trump completed.

Similar agreement signed in August

Last August, the U.S. Government signed a similar agreement with Nvidia and AMD to allow them to export computer chips to China by paying 15% of their revenue. Nvidia also has a specific license to export the H20 chip to China, which has less capacity than the H200 and is specifically designed for that country, in exchange for 15% of sales. Furthermore, a U.S. House of Representatives committee warned the government in July that the H20s would far exceed local manufacturing capacity in China and could boost the development of AI for strategic purposes. Furthermore, the Republican politician argued today that the measure will be beneficial for employment in the U.S. and the country’s leadership in AI, and lashed out at the policies of his predecessor, Democrat Joe Biden.
