Several Democratic senators on Dec. 9 opposed President Donald Trump’s approval of Nvidia H200 AI chips for Chinese customers in a joint statement, calling it a “national security failure.”

“The H200s are vastly more capable than anything China can make and gifting them to Beijing would squander America’s primary advantage in the AI race,” the senators stated, calling on Trump to reverse the policy.
