Following months of speculative market rumors, the U.S. government has officially rolled out a fresh round of tariff policies targeting specific semiconductor products. This action directly impacts the scheduled export of NVIDIA's cutting-edge H200 artificial intelligence chips to China. On this past Wednesday, President Donald Trump issued a proclamation, instituting a 25% tariff on advanced AI chips manufactured outside the United States and subsequently shipped through the U.S. to other countries. This decision is widely perceived as a strategic maneuver aimed at striking a balance between economic interests and national security concerns, a common approach in international trade policy that reflects the complex interplay between global economic dynamics and geopolitical stability.
