Trump warned the Senate Democrats of rethinking chips in China

Six Senate Democrats on Friday released an open letter asking the president Donald Trump review your decision will allow the technological giants Nvidia and Extended micro -device sell AI Semiconductor Chips to China in exchange for 15% sales profits.

Letter – signed by senators Chuck ShumerDn.y.; Mark Warner, D-Va; Jack Reid, Doctor; Zhanna Shakhin, Dn.H.; Christopher Kuns, D-Del; and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.-was in response to August 11 Trump’s ad that Nvidia and AMD will pay the US government by 15% revenue reduction from china sales in exchange for export licenses.

“Our national security and military readiness relies on the fact that American innovators who are inventing and creating the best technologies in the world, and supporting this qualitative advantage in sensitive spheres. The United States has historically succeeded in maintaining and creating this advantage from, in part, our ability to deny our enemy.

“The readiness that is reflected in this agreement to” agree “for the competitive preference in America, which is a key to our national security in exchange for the fact that, in fact, the technology commission that contains the AI-based world competitor is a reason for serious anxiety,” the letter continues.

Senators also warned that the sale of advanced AI chips – in particular H20 and Chips Nvidia and AMD – can help strengthen their military systems, claiming that Nvidia denies.

In a statement by the CNBC, the Nvidia press -secretary said: “The H20 would not expand human military opportunities, but would help America attract support for developers around the world and win the AI race. The ban on H20 cost US taxpayers billions without benefit.”

The Senate Democrats’ letter also requires a detailed response from the administration by Friday, August 22, a relatively current deal involving NVIDIA and AMD, as well as any such agreements that are implemented with other companies.

“We again urge your administration to quickly cancel the course and give up this reckless plan to trade American technological leadership,” the letter reads.

A comment from the White House and AMD did not immediately return.

Although Trump has allowed to recover the sales of chips, it has already become clear that China is not greeted with Nvidia with open hands, instead calls for technology companies To avoid buying US companiesAccording to Bloomberg report.

“We hear it a tough mandate, and that (the authorities actually) stop the additional H20 orders for some companies,” said Qingyuan Lin, a senior analyst covering semiconductor Chinese semiconductors in Bernstein, CNBC.
