Threat of DeepSeek: Trump and Nvidia Head Discussed 'Strengthening' Control.

Trump Discussed Chinese Artificial Intelligence and Chip Export Restrictions with Nvidia CEO

U.S. President Donald Trump and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang discussed the Chinese-developed DeepSeek artificial intelligence and possible strengthening of restrictions on chip exports for artificial intelligence (AI) during a meeting at the White House.

A source reported on the meeting but did not disclose details of the negotiations.

Trump stated that the meeting was productive but did not reveal further information: 'I can't say what will happen. We had a meeting. It was a good meeting.'

The U.S. government plans to maintain the technological advantage of the country and its allies, as well as restrict China's access to advanced computing power.

'We are grateful for the opportunity to meet with President Trump and discuss the semiconductor industry and artificial intelligence policy,' said a Nvidia representative.

The Nvidia representative noted that the meeting focused on strengthening U.S. technological leadership in the field of artificial intelligence.

The meeting took place amid growing concerns about China's technological progress in artificial intelligence.

DeepSeek's Popularity Prompted Discussion on Further Restrictions on Nvidia H20 Chip Exports

DeepSeek released a free assistant that competes with American models, raising concerns about U.S. dominance in the field of artificial intelligence. As a result, Nvidia's shares fell by 17%.

The Trump administration is considering further restrictions on the sales of Nvidia H20 chips to the Chinese market. The H20 chips were designed taking into account American export restrictions imposed by Biden.

Two American congressmen called for stricter measures regarding the export of Nvidia artificial intelligence chips.
