Trump said Monday that he has cut a deal with chipmaker Nvidia, allowing it to sell certain artificial intelligence chips to China in exchange for a cut of the revenue, which would go to the U.S. government. Trump said he also negotiated a similar deal with chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).

The Trump administration’s potential deal with Nvidia over its chip exports is rankling conservative China hawks, who see it as a bad move for American national security and want a more muscular strategy of economic statecraft against Beijing.
