Trump Administration is still working on the details of 15% export tax Nvidia And AMD The White House said that Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday that such agreements could bring to more companies.
“He is currently standing in these two companies. Maybe he can expand to other companies in the future.” He said.
“The legality, mechanics of this is still ironed by the Ministry of Commerce, and I will postpone them for more details on how to implement it.”
President Donald Trump confirmed that the US government has made an agreement that the US government has approved its export license for 15% revenue for the China -specific H2 -specific H20 AI chip. The White House confirmed that advanced micro devices are approved in return for a part of Chinese sales.
Trump said on Monday, “I said, ‘If I am going to do this, I want you to pay us as a country, because I release you,’ ‘he said.
“We follow the rules set by the US government for our participation in world markets,” Nvidia said this week. He said.
Trump said export licenses for AMD and NVIDIA are an agreement. However, the lawyers and experts who followed the trade warned Trump’s agreement can be complex Due to the current laws that regulate how the government can charge for export licenses.
Trade department did not return the request for comments immediately.
The H20 is Nvidia’s Chinese chip, which slows down to comply with US export relations. It is related to the H100 and H200 chips used in the USA and the Biden administration was introduced in 2023 after exporting export controls on artificial intelligence chips.
Earlier this year, Nvidia said in April that it was on the way to sell more than $ 8 billion H20 chips in a single quarter before saying that it would require a license to export the Trump administration chip.
In July, Trump showed that he would approve export licenses for the chip after visiting Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang White House.
The United States regulates the AI chips, such as those done by Nvidia, by saying that they can be used by the Chinese government to skip US capabilities in AI, or that they can be used by Chinese military or connected groups.
The Chinese government encourages local companies to avoid using local companies NVIDIA’s H20 chips for any government or national security work, Bloomberg Reported on Tuesday.
