Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick explained the Trump administration's turnabout in assuring Nvidia that it [can sell its H20 artificial-intelligence chip](

The shift in strategy, which angered China hawks in Washington, raises a key question as Trump sets the stage for a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping later this year: how far will the US go in rolling back a range of measures restricting business between the world’s biggest economies imposed in the name of national security?

U.S. Commerce Secretary said Nvidia's plans to start selling its H20 chips are tied to ongoing trade discussions with China regarding REEs.

Nvidia Corp.’s Jensen Huang spent months telling everyone what a grave mistake the US was making restricting shipments of artificial intelligence processors to China — with little sign that his argument was swaying anyone.
