White House officials discouraged President Donald Trump from raising the topic of exporting Nvidia’s advanced #Artificial Intelligence chips to China during a recent meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang had lobbied the president directly to allow access to the Chinese market, with a goal of selling Nvidia’s advanced Blackwell chip to China. But White House officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, argued against the move, telling Trump such a deal would pose national security risks, the Journal reported. Trump ultimately did not bring up the advanced chips when the two leaders met last week in South Korea. The decision marked a setback for Huang, who is also waiting for the green light from the administration to sell a less advanced chip to #🇨🇳 ChinA.I. 🤖🧠🦾🤖 . White House spokesperson White House spokesman Kush Desai told the Journal that “President Trump listens to a variety of insights on policy matters, including from top business leaders.” https://www.wsj.com/world..
