President Trump said on Monday that the United States government will take 15 % of the revenues that the Nafidia chips withdraws from sales in China from the H20 chip, which is used to develop artificial intelligence.

At a White House press conference, Trump said that the CEO of Nvidia Ginsen Huang has a request to reduce restrictions on exports so that NVIDIA can sell H20s in the Chinese market.

“I said if I was going to do it, I want you to pay us as a country, because I give you a version,” Trump said.

Trump said he requested a 20 % discount, and Huang gathered to 15 %.

Trump H20 described “outdated”, and “ancient chip that China has already has … in a different form, a different name.” NVIDIA H20 is designed to be less powerful than the company’s fine chips to comply with export controls.

It is not clear under the executive authority the unprecedented payment agreement, and whether it is considered a tax.

In a statement, NVIDIA said it follows “rules determined by the US government to participate in global markets”, although a spokesman for his rejection of details and did not confirm the number by 15 %.

Reports in Financial times Other news means said the Nvidia Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) will pass 15 % of its sales revenues to China in the Mi308 chip. Trump did not mention Amd during the press conference, and the company did not immediately respond to a request from NPR to comment.

The revenue sharing agreement is the latest development in a long period of sales to China from the advanced fine chips used in the development of artificial intelligence.

During his first administration, Trump restricted the export of high -end chips to China due to fears that could sharpen the technological advantage of China and threaten US national security. The Biden Administration has raised the export control items and chip -making equipment.

This spring, once to office, Trump A reverse pathAllow NVIDIA to sell H20 chips to China, and temporarily stop additional restrictions. In July, AMD said that the Ministry of Commerce will review the licenses of exporting some chips to China.

“Although we have not shipped H20 to China for months, we hope that export control rules in exports in China and all over the world allow.”

Trump suggested that the Black Cwelling of NVIDIA, which was called “Super Duper Advanced”, may be in play, but in a decreased form-and he wants to reduce 30 to 50 % of these sales.

In July, Chinese organizers met with NVIDIA representatives to ask about possible “background doors” and other security risks in H20. NVIDIA said in the cybersecurity statement is very important, and its fries do not contain background devices or ways to reach or control them.
