Trump Says Nvidia's Most Advanced AI Chips Will Be Reserved for U.S. Use Only. U.S. President Donald Trump says Nvidia's most powerful AI chips — the highly sought-after Blackwell models — will be reserved exclusively for American companies. Speaking on CBS' 60 Minutes and later aboard Air Force One, Trump declared that "the most advanced chips will not go to anyone but the United States,” signaling even tighter export controls on cutting-edge semiconductors. The move would block China — and possibly other countries — from accessing Nvidia's top-tier AI hardware, even as the U.S. continues to expand AI exports to its allies. The comments came just days after Nvidia announced plans to supply more than 260,000 Blackwell chips to South Korea's tech giants, including Samsung. Trump didn't rule out selling a less powerful version to China but emphasized it would not include the most advanced designs, a stance praised by Washington China hawks but raising new questions for global AI supply chains.
