Lutnick Says Nvidia CEO Has Reasons To Sell AI Chips To China, Trump Will Decide Final Outcome

  • The U.S. government is reviewing whether to allow NVIDIA to resume selling advanced AI chips to China.

Howard Lutnick, the U.S. Commerce Secretary, confirmed that the Trump administration is actively considering whether to permit Nvidia to sell advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) chips to China.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has cited strong reasons for allowing his company to serve the Chinese market.

In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Lutnick emphasized that the matter remains under careful review, noting that the final decision will rest with the U.S. President. According to him, “He’s got all the information. He’s got lots and lots of experts talking to him, and he’s going to decide which way to go forward.” Lutnick added that a large group of people, beyond just Huang, agree that the U.S. should weigh the merits of selling AI chips to China.

Artificial intelligence chips, such as those made by Nvidia, are specialized processors designed to accelerate complex computations needed for machine learning and data analysis.

While the policy review continues, shares of Nvidia gained over 2% during early afternoon trading. Market sentiment among retail investors turned ‘extremely bullish,’ with discussion volumes reaching high levels over the past day.

Major U.S. equity indices also traded higher on Monday morning. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) was up 0.98%, the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA) advanced 0.30%, and the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ), which tracks tech stocks, climbed 1.70%. Retail sentiment on QQQ improved from ‘bearish’ to ‘neutral,’ with increased investor chatter.
