Nvidia Plays Trump Card - AI Chip Limits Lifted!

What's the story:

Nvidia cozied up to Trump—and now the U.S. has scrapped new rules that would’ve hurt its AI chip sales, while cracking down harder on Huawei’s rival chips.

Key Takeaways:

• The U.S. canceled a rule that would’ve limited Nvidia’s global AI chip sales.

• At the same time, the U.S. warned against using Huawei’s AI chips anywhere in the world.

• Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang joined Trump and tech leaders in Saudi Arabia to boost U.S. AI investments.

• Elon Musk and other top tech figures also attended the Riyadh summit.

• Trump made it clear: the U.S. wants deals and dollars flowing from Saudi to American firms.

Why It’s Important:

This move protects Nvidia’s massive lead in AI chips while turning up the heat on China’s Huawei. It also shows how politics and tech are tightly linked—and how big business can shape global rules.
