Bessent Suggests High-End Nvidia Chips Could Go to China One Day

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent suggested that the US eventually could allow high-end computer chips made by Nvidia Corp. to be sold to Chinese companies as he teased additional meetings between President Donald Trump and the Chinese leader Xi Jinping next year.

Bessent called Nvidia’s chips using the Blackwell design the “crown jewel” but said that the pace of technological change could make them less advanced relatively quickly, opening up the possibility of selling the chips to China.
