Nvidia has said she was counting on $ 5.5 billion after the United States cluttered on the ability to export artificial intelligence to China, sending shares of Behemoth Silicon Valley Behemoth.

The group stated that in the regulatory application at the end of Tuesday that the H20 chip, which is designed for the Chinese market to execute export control, which already prevents the sale of the most powerful chips in China, will now require a special license for sale there.

Nvidia He said the United States said the move was needed to resolve the risk of using H20 ships in China’s Supercompute.

The sperm -producer said that the quarter of April 27 would need $ 5.5 billion related to H20 chips. His shares decreased by 6 percent on Tuesday, and the futures tracked the NASDAQ technological index decreased more than 1 percent.

Last example of how the US is using the US tariffs and other trading barriers to increase the pressure on Beijing. President Donald Trump has already increased tariffs for Chinese imports to 145 percent, although some household electronics have received a temporary payment.

White House press secretary Carolyn Levit on Tuesday urged China to stop a new trade deal from the US, saying: “The ball is in China’s court.”

The US moving also emphasizes how the designer of the chips in the Center Ai -Bum, which has been observed without checking growth and has briefly become the most valuable company in the world, exposed to geopolitical tensions between Washington and Beijing.

Monday Trump administration launch A national security probe that can lead to new semiconductor tariffs, as it immediately applies more steady chips.

The restrictions go, despite Nvidia CEO Jensen Juan, who has joined other technology managers in search of Trump’s court. Recently, Juan has lunch with Trump at his Mar-a-lago resort and met with the president at the White House in January.

Nvidia also said that over the next four years it would spend up to half a million dollars on AI AI infrastructure over the next four years later with companies, including TSMC Taiwan and Foxconn. Financial Times first reported its investment plans.

Last year, the company introduced the H20 chip, focused on China after the Biden administration imposed on its chips.

They are less powerful than its main range of graphic units, or graphic processors wishing to similar Microsoft, Openai, Google and Amazon.

Despite the reduced characteristics, the H20 still felt solid demand in China. But Beijing, meanwhile, has taken measures to encourage local technology companies to use homegrown chips from companies such as Huawei, and can freeze Nvidia products from New energy efficiency rules.

Since the beginning of the year, Nvidia’s shares have fallen by about 16 percent, as on Tuesday, when the anxiety arises about the growing arms racing between the US and China around the infrastructure that nourishes the II. They were also made in a wider market section, which was caused by the escalation of the trade war.

In the crackdown on the latest Nvidia chip blocks, as consecutive US administrations sought ways to control technology.

Former President Joe Biden has imposed extensive restrictions on chips-related technology, which included measures aimed at Nvidia because of the problems that his chips would facilitate China’s upgrading its military.

Ever since he took over, Trump has submitted a number of measures that suggest that he intends to continue the impetus to pressure China to make him more complicated to take advantage of US technology.

The United States is worried that China will become a more successful construction super -commander who can be used for everything from the development of hypersonic weapons to the modeling of nuclear weapons to help the People’s Army of Liberation.

China has repeatedly accused the United States of using national security instruments such as export control, in the throttle of its economic development. The Chinese Embassy in Washington and the White House were associated for comments.

The AI ​​diffusion rule, introduced in the last days of the Biden administration, must come into force in May, if the Trump administration does not decide to relax. This would impose much more rigorous control over where the most powerful American chips can be exported by using a “multi -tiered” licensing system that limits exports for all but a small number of countries.

Last week, republican senators wrote to the secretary for trading Howard Lutnik asking the administration to trim the rule that faced the retreat throughout the industry, including Nvidia.
