The U.S. will allow Nvidia to export its H200 data center accelerators to “approved customers” in China, President Donald Trump announced on Monday.
Donald Trump’s decision to allow Nvidia Corp. to sell advanced chips to China marks more than just a shift in US tech policy. It also raises questions about how far he’ll go to steady ties with Xi Jinping.
In July 2025, the Trump administration approved H20 exports after months of Huang's lobbying. Nvidia framed it as a breakthrough. Access to China's AI market. A potential $50 billion revenue opportunity. Wall Street bought the story. NVDA rallied.
Nvidia can now sell H200 chips to China under Trump’s new policy, a shift that follows months of lobbying by CEO Jensen Huang.
