United States President Donald Trump engaged in discussions with NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, with a key focus on the Chinese startup DeepSeek and the contentious issue of AI chip export restrictions. The US government is poised to tighten export controls on AI chips, aiming to uphold the technological superiority of the US and its allies in advanced computing and hinder China's access to these pivotal technologies. The Trump administration is deliberating over the imposition of stricter limitations on the sale of NVIDIA's H20 chips, which are tailored specifically for the Chinese market. Additionally, the US Department of Commerce is conducting an investigation into whether DeepSeek has unlawfully utilized US chips that are prohibited from being exported to China.
