Nvidia to resume selling H20 AI chips in China after U.S. assurances
The company announced in a press release Monday it will "soon" resume deliveries of the H2O chips, which have been deemed compliant for China after Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang met with President Trump and other legislators last week.
Huang said Nvidia has filed applications to sell its H20 GPU again, and the American government has guaranteed the company's licenses will be granted.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission had told Nvidia in April it would need a license to sell the chips to China, which froze those sales as the H20 chips had been designed explicitly to sidestep earlier export controls on Beijing.
Huang has also traveled to Beijing, where he checked in with industry and government officials to talk about how AI can safely and securely benefit researchers, increase productivity and grow opportunities.
During the meetings in Washington and Beijing, Huang reiterated his company's support toward domestic job creation and both the beefing up of AI onshore manufacturing and stateside infrastructure in order to keep the United States a global AI leader.
Furthermore, Huang noted that the new and fully compliant Nvidia RTX PRO GPU "is ideal for digital twin AI for smart factories and logistics."
Nvidia stock was up 7.23 points, or 4.41%, in pre-market trading as of 7:25 a.m. EDT.

Nvidia Gains as Trump AI Push Fuels Investor Optimism
Nvidia (NVDA, Financials) rose about 1.7% on Thursday after the Trump administration unveiled a broad artificial intelligence strategy aimed at expanding U.S. dominance in the sector with a heavy focus on deregulation and infrastructure growth. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. The 25-page America's AI Action Plan includes 90 policy proposals to streamline data center construction, boost AI tool access for U.S. allies, and eliminate federal rules that hinder AI development; specific regulations targeted for repeal were not disclosed. David Sacks, the White House's AI czar, said the U.S. is in an AI race; the plan includes measures to counter China's influence in international governance bodies and proposes reviewing Chinese AI models for alignment with state censorship. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the strategy sets the technological gold standard globally. The initiative promotes building more U.S. data centers; it also introduces fast-track permitting and opens access to federal land. Environmental oversight will be relaxed; the Environmental Protection Agency is reportedly preparing to reverse a key emissions finding a move that could limit future climate regulations. The AI rollout comes amid growing power demands and rising emissions. Google's 2024 sustainability report cited a 48% increase in greenhouse gas emissions since 2019; the surge was largely attributed to energy-intensive AI infrastructure. Despite promising that AI will complement human labor, the plan arrives as companies increasingly turn to automation. Job cuts from Recruit Holdings (owner of Indeed and Glassdoor), Salesforce, and others have been linked directly to AI deployment. Some analysts see the rollout as investor-friendly. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives called it a watershed moment and a big step forward in the AI arms race. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Trump hosts Starmer in Scotland, promoting his own golf club
EDINBURGH, Scotland — President Donald Trump has transformed the private green at his Turnberry golf course into a venue for high-stakes diplomacy. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived Monday morning to meet with the president near the fairway to hash out a trade deal and discuss the wars in Gaza and Ukraine. On Sunday, European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced the contours of a trade deal at the private club. The meetings provide the latest example of how Trump uses his presidential power not only to govern, but also to help his family businesses. The engagements provide publicity for the courses and funnel taxpayer funds to the Trump Organization, as the U.S. government pays to lodge staff and security details at the properties. Traditionally, American presidents are invited to other countries by their leaders and hosted at diplomatic residences. But Trump is playing host to Starmer in the prime minister's own country, continuing his long tradition of sidestepping presidential norms to mix his family business and his public office. 'It is an unusual dynamic, but that is more of an issue for the U.S.,' said David Henig, director of the U.K. Trade Policy Project for the European Centre for International Political Economy. 'U.K. prime ministers have always said, we will just deal with the U.S. presidents as we find them.' Asked about the potential conflicts of interest, White House officials noted that the golf courses are held in a trust managed by Trump's children. 'President Trump's working trip to Scotland has already been a huge success, securing a historic trade agreement with the EU. President Trump is always acting in the best interest of the American people delivering GOOD deals that put America First,' White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said in a written statement. 'Donald J. Trump has built the best and most beautiful world-class golf courses anywhere in the world, which is why they continue to be used for prestigious tournaments and by the most elite players in the sport.' Trump and Starmer told reporters Monday that they plan to discuss tariffs — including those levied on whisky — and aid to Gaza and Ukraine. In an exchange with reporters as Starmer arrived, Trump said he plans to shorten the 50-day deadline he gave Russian President Vladimir Putin to reach a ceasefire in Ukraine, reflecting his mounting frustration with the Kremlin. He also repeated his complaint that no one has said 'thank you' for aid the United States has sent to Gaza for food, where deaths from starvation and malnutrition are rising, and stressed his continued focus on rescuing Israeli hostages. Trump's visit, which includes the opening of a new golf course in Aberdeenshire, on Scotland's east coast, will cost American taxpayers millions of dollars for travel and security. While all other presidents in the era of jet travel have regularly used Air Force One for personal travel and are protected by the Secret Service as they do so, the government was not paying hotel fees to businesses they owned to house security details or White House staff. The U.S. government paid $68,800 to Trump's Turnberry resort in 2018 to cover the cost of Trump's visit to the course on Scotland's west coast during his first term, according to a report in the Scotsman newspaper. In between negotiating trade accords and batting back questions about the Jeffrey Epstein files, Trump used his time in Scotland over the weekend to promote the course. He posted videos of himself golfing on Truth Social, the social network he partially owns. He also cited praise from the retired professional golfer Gary Player. 'The Great Gary Player: 'Turnberry is, without a question, in the Top Five Greatest Golf Courses I've ever played in my 73 years as a Pro.' Thank you, Gary!'' he wrote. Trump Turnberry was one of Trump's most expensive properties and has struggled to turn a profit since his company purchased it in 2014. Trump spent $67 million to buy the property and an additional $144 million to renovate it. The course lost $1.7 million in the 2023 fiscal year, according to a filing from the company which operates the course. Trump has some supporters in the Turnberry area, where his club is a significant employer, but also many detractors. Scotts have hosted demonstrations across the country this week in protest of his stay. 'We're operating in nonstandard territory in terms of seeing him using Scotland as just a meeting room and use his properties as a venue for trade talks,' said Jack Nevin, who organized a protest Saturday in Edinburgh on behalf of Stop Trump Coalition. 'It's par for the course with his rank corruption and promoting his own businesses as president.' Amy B Wang contributed to this report.

Former ambassador to EU: 15 percent tariff can be baked into profit margins
President Trump's first-term ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland, brushed off concerns on Sunday about higher prices for Americans following news of the U.S.-EU trade deal, which set tariffs at 15 percent on European goods. In an interview with CNN's Jessica Dean, Sondland was asked to respond to folks who see the 15 percent tariff on imported goods and are worried that, for example, their perfume bottles from France will now be 15 percent more expensive. He said Americans might initially see higher prices, but they will soon adjust as competition returns to the market. 'At 15 percent, I think consumers will initially pay, but I also think that this will be baked into the profit margins — or a reduction of the profit margins — on a lot of these products, because the market will start to pull prices back down again as there's more competition,' he said. Sondland said a 15 percent rate will generate enough revenue to make a dent in the reduction of the annual deficit. 'I think at a 15 percent tariff, it's enough to generate. If everything that we imported bore a 15 percent tariff, that would generate about $450 billion for the United States Treasury, which would make an enormous dent in our annual deficit,' Sondland said. 'If the tariff were 30 or 40 or 50 percent, that would be an absolute shutdown, so that wouldn't work. But 10 to 15, I think we can swallow it, and I think it's going to generate a tremendous amount of money if Congress doesn't piss it away on other things,' he added. Trump and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen announced a trade deal on Sunday, setting tariffs at 15 percent for European goods, including automobiles. The European Union will purchase $750 billion worth of energy from the U.S. as part of the deal, Trump announced, and agreed to invest in the U.S. $600 billion more than the current investments for other goods. The agreement is lower than the 30 percent tariff Trump had threatened to impose on the EU, which would have begun on Friday, and avoids a trade war with the U.S.'s largest trading partner.
