Khaberni - US President Donald Trump believes that only American companies deserve to obtain the most advanced artificial intelligence chips from "Nvidia", adding that Chinese companies and other countries will not get these chips, according to a "Reuters" report.
Trump's comments came during an interview aired on "CBS" conducted aboard Air Force One.
Trump said: "We will not allow anyone other than the United States to get the most advanced chips.. We will not give the Blackwell chip to other people."
Trump's statements indicate his intention to impose export restrictions on the most advanced "Nvidia" chips, as it appears that the US government intends to include the rest of the world in the restrictions applied to Chinese companies regarding the chips.
It is worth mentioning that the Trump administration tried to reduce the restrictions on "Nvidia" and the export of artificial intelligence chips last July, seeking to expand American influence in the field of artificial intelligence, which directly contradicts Trump's new statements.
"Nvidia" also revealed last week its intention to export 260,000 "Blackwell" chips to South Korea and its leading companies, including "Samsung".
While Trump refused to sell the most advanced chips to Chinese companies, he left the door open for Chinese companies to obtain older generations of artificial intelligence chips, adding: "We will let them deal with Nvidia."
The prospect of selling the leading "Nvidia" chips caused widespread indignation among those wary of Chinese companies, as they believe these chips are used to enhance China's military capabilities and compete with American companies.
Republican Congressman John Moolenaar, who chairs the special committee on China in the House of Representatives, believes that giving China advanced "Nvidia" cards is like giving uranium to Iran and enabling them to make nuclear weapons.
For its part, "Nvidia" believes that its presence in China is currently unwelcome, so the company did not seek to obtain a license to export chips to China, and Jensen Huang, the CEO of the company, added that selling the chips in China is necessary to develop research and development operations in the United States.
Trump did not discuss the chip crisis with Chinese President Xi Jinping during the joint summit that brought them together in South Korea, according to Trump himself and a "Reuters" report.
