International Trump reverses ban selling Microchips to China

[Rhood]

America First you say?

In April, the Trump administration banned top U.S. suppliers, like Nvidia, from selling topline silicon to China over "national security concerns." The ban mirrored the 2022 CHIPS Act passed by former President Joe Biden, which increased semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S. while also clamping down on chip companies investing in China and Russia, the biggest competitors in the industry.

The White House reversed its ban after barely three months, giving Nvidia the all-clear in July to resume sales with China. Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang on July 14 said the U.S. government had assured him it would restore the licenses to sell H20s in China.

Half a month later, and Chinese demand for Nvidia chips has surged, with the U.S. company looking to replenish its stock with an order of 300,000 H20 chipsets from TSMC, one of the largest manufacturers in the world.

Donald Trump is helping China in the AI race. Why?

Not to worry. Everything's fine as long as we hammer Canada for the overwhelming amount of fentanyl crossing the northern border.

Oh cool. What did China bribe our government with?

Well, he didnt have a plan going in his commercial war against China. I think his mind operates in the 90s', where USA could bully everybody.
As he bans chips to China and tariffs everybody, China bans rare earth minerals and occupies part of the markets that he's also trying to bully. So far China has been faring better on this trade war.
My guess is that he lifted the ban because someone got on his ear and explained that he'll need to try to negotiate in good faith faith on this one.

According to Russia, Russia and Israel have Trump on tape. A fucking Russian government official tweeted it. Maybe Russia has turned into a Blockbuster and only letting countries check out The Trump Tape.

Not just any government official either - the former president and prime minister.

Also keep in mind Medvedev doesn't say anything unless Putin tells him to.

Chips he might ban, why not.

However what he is doing about tariffs is crazy. The same aluminium and steel alloys tariffs?

Western dependence in rare earth metals from China is overestimated: they just should build refineries and might process rare earth metals even from refineries tailings used long ago material to get other metals...

Difference is with this mainstream consumer crap import: ofc manufactured in west stuff will cost considerably more, sales companies too wants to earn profits etc. ..
Or import from china and Co plus big tariffs?
Dunno how Trump will deal with this.

He doesn't need to look good.... His supporters are basically a cult

 

[Hdfi]

China is dumb for allowing an obvious Trojan Horse to infect their country.

 

[Heisenboom]

Add a rootkit to the chip and wait.

 

[GhostZ06]

what a fucking idiot...

i thought he was hardcore anti china

 

[Michaelangelo]

Trump’s pockets look like the United Nations at this point

 

[luckyshot]

And I'm sure he didn't buy any stocks immediately before lifting the ban.

Because he'd never do something like that.
