Nvidia has received White House approval to start exporting its H200 AI GPU chips to “approved customers” in China and other countries, according to President Donald Trump. In a Truth Social post on Monday, Trump said the deal comes with “conditions that allow for continued strong national security,” and that the US will take a 25 percent cut of the GPU sales — higher than the 15 percent cut that was demanded in August.
Nvidia’s H200 chips are an upgrade to the scaled-down H20 chips that Nvidia is already permitted to sell in China, but are less powerful than its latest flagship Blackwell GPUs.
“This policy will support American jobs, strengthen US manufacturing, and benefit American taxpayers,” Trump said. “Nvidia’s US customers are already moving forward with their incredible, highly advanced Blackwell chips, and soon, Rubin, neither of which are part of this deal.”
