**NVIDIA’s Blackwell AI Chips Blocked from Export to China as Trump Administration Enforces Restrictions**
NVIDIA’s highly anticipated Blackwell AI chips will not be allowed for export to China, as the Trump administration puts a definitive halt to all developments surrounding Team Green’s re-entry into the Beijing market.
Despite a recent monumental breakthrough in US-China trade relations, NVIDIA’s AI chips remain barred from entering the Chinese AI sector. In a recent interview with CBS News, President Trump firmly stated that the United States will not permit other nations, including China, to access “high-end” AI chips. He specifically mentioned that the Blackwell chip will not receive export approval, effectively maintaining the stalemate between NVIDIA and China.
> “The most advanced, we will not let anybody have them other than the United States. We don’t give [the Blackwell] chip to other people,” said President Trump.
For those unfamiliar, recent remarks from President Trump have positioned the NVIDIA-China issue as a private matter between the two parties, with the US government acting as an arbitrator. However, his latest comments clearly put an end to any immediate plans for NVIDIA to supply its cutting-edge Blackwell AI chips to China.
The situation is worsening for NVIDIA on multiple fronts. Not only is the company constrained by US government export restrictions, but Beijing’s administration is also demonstrating a hostile stance toward NVIDIA’s AI chips. This antagonism is a significant factor contributing to the ongoing deadlock in negotiations.
NVIDIA’s CEO Jensen Huang has openly acknowledged that the company’s revenue from China has effectively dropped to zero, referring to any potential breakthrough in the market as a “bonus.” This hard reality underscores the magnitude of NVIDIA’s missed opportunities—tens of billions in revenue—from a market that previously accounted for a substantial share of the company’s earnings.
With President Trump’s latest statement, NVIDIA is left with its existing Hopper H20 AI chip for China, which is struggling to gain widespread adoption in the region. The outlook remains bleak, and hopes for any near-term breakthrough in China appear to be diminishing.
As this complex situation unfolds, all eyes remain on how NVIDIA will navigate the increasingly challenging landscape of regional AI markets and export controls.
