TRUMP PLANS U.S. CONTROL OVER GLOBAL AI CHIP SALES The Trump administration is drafting rules that would require U.S. approval for nearly all AI chip exports, giving Washington sweeping power over companies like Nvidia and AMD. The draft framework sets licensing rules based on shipment size, from simplified reviews for small orders to government-level approval for massive deployments, potentially tying exports to security guarantees or U.S. investment. Officials say the goal is to make American AI the global standard while controlling critical infrastructure, though delays or strict conditions could disrupt international AI projects.
