U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that Nvidia will be prohibited from selling its most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) chips, including the Blackwell series, to China. Speaking during an interview on CBS’ 60 Minutes on Sunday evening, Trump stated that while Nvidia can continue doing business with Beijing, access to its top-tier AI technology will remain exclusive to the United States.
“We will let them (China) deal with Nvidia but not in terms of the most advanced,” Trump said. “The most advanced, we will not let anybody have them other than the United States.”
Trump’s comments come shortly after Washington and Beijing reached a one-year trade agreement. The deal includes China easing restrictions on rare earth exports and increasing purchases of U.S. agricultural products, while the U.S. agreed to lower certain tariffs on Chinese imports.
The interview marked Trump’s first appearance on 60 Minutes in five years and followed a $16 million settlement he won against CBS parent company Paramount over a previous episode he claimed was deceptively edited.
During the discussion, Trump also highlighted several global and domestic issues, including the Israel ceasefire, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, and the U.S. economic shutdown. He defended his administration’s trade tariffs, claiming they had significantly boosted government revenue and strengthened the economy.
Addressing potential Supreme Court challenges to his tariff policies, Trump warned of dire economic consequences if the court ruled against them. “I think our country will be immeasurably hurt. I think our economy will go to hell,” he said.
Trump’s stance underscores his continued focus on protecting U.S. technological dominance and economic leverage amid growing global competition in the AI sector.
