Trump administration backs off Nvidia's H20 chip crackdown after Mar-a-Lago dinner: Report

The Trump administration has reversed course on plans to restrict exports of Nvidia's H20 artificial intelligence chips to China after CEO Jensen Huang attended a Mar-a-Lago dinner last week, NPR reported on Wednesday.

The planned American export controls on the chips had been in the works for months, NPR reported, citing two sources, and were ready to be implemented as soon as this week.

The change in plans came after Nvidia promised the Trump administration new U.S. investments in AI data centers, the NPR report said.

The White House and Nvidia did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration was considering tightening restrictions on the AI leader's sales of its H20 chips designed for the China market, Reuters had reported in January.
