📰 💻 Nvidia, AMD to Pay U.S. 15% of China AI Chip Sales

In a move critics call unconstitutional, Nvidia and AMD agreed to hand over 15% of revenue from AI chip sales to China as a condition for export licenses.

📊 Key points

* 💰 15% revenue-sharing deal tied to export license approval.
* 🛑 Trump administration reversed earlier ban on Nvidia’s H20 AI chips to China.
* ⚖️ Experts warn the deal may violate the constitutional ban on export taxes.
* 🗣 Critics call it “bribery or blackmail,” saying export controls should protect security, not raise revenue.

💼 The implications

* Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang personally lobbied Trump before the deal.
* Raises questions about U.S. export control credibility and national security priorities.
* Suggests companies can “pay for the right” to bypass security restrictions.

⚔️ When national security rules turn into pay-to-play arrangements, who’s really controlling the flow of critical tech — Washington, Beijing, or the corporate checkbook?
