US Senators Introduce Bill to Block Nvidia Chip Sales to China Amid National Security Concerns

A bipartisan group of US senators has unveiled a bill, the SAFE CHIPS Act, to block the Trump administration from easing restrictions on Nvidia chip sales to China. The bill would deny licenses for buyers in China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea to receive advanced AI chips for 2.5 years and require the Commerce Department to brief Congress on proposed rule changes. The legislation aims to prevent China from using advanced chips to supercharge its military with AI-powered weapons and intelligence capabilities.
