Washington has begun an interagency licensing review that could pave the way for Nvidia’s H200 AI accelerators to be shipped to China, following President Trump’s pledge to permit sales subject to a 25% fee. Commerce circulated export-license applications to the State, Energy and Defense Departments, which have 30 days to weigh in, though the final decision rests with the president. The prospective reversal of Biden-era curbs drew criticism from security hawks who warn that supplying advanced chips to China could bolster Beijing’s military and narrow America’s AI lead. An administration official said the review won’t be a rubber stamp. Nvidia shares rose in premarket trading on the news.
