Two congressmen are introducing a bill to give U.S. companies first dibs on advanced computer chips before they can be sold to certain foreign countries.
“We cannot sell the latest advanced AI chips to our country’s primary adversary,” Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.) posted on X on Oct. 29. He wrote that selling Nvidia’s best AI chip to China “would be akin to giving Iran weapons grade uranium.”
Nvidia Blackwell chips are currently under export restriction, but a similar version of the company’s H20 chips can be exported to China. This bill would not stop the advanced chips from being exported, but it would ensure American chip purchase requests are fulfilled before the chips can be sold to China….
