What to know

  • Shapiro argues the Trump administration's January decision to allow Nvidia H200 chip exports to approved Chinese customers contradicts its own stated AI competition goals.
  • The policy remains contested: administration and Nvidia defend it as necessary for U.S. competitiveness under national security safeguards; lawmakers including House GOP chair Mast warn it accelerates China's AI capabilities.
  • The debate reflects a fundamental disagreement over whether restricting advanced chip exports or allowing exports under safeguards better serves American technological and military interests.

“That is a mistake. Real leadership means keeping America ahead of China in AI innovation, pushing Beijing on practical guardrails to reduce risks to the American people, and putting effective safety measures in place here at home.”

    Shapiro criticizes Trump chip export policy at AI summit

    Speaking at the AI Horizons 2026 Summit in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro accused the Trump administration of helping China gain an advantage in the AI race by allowing Nvidia to sell advanced chips to approved Chinese customers, calling the policy inconsistent with Trump's stated goal to beat China in AI development.

    “And while Donald Trump talks a big game about beating China on AI development, his administration cut a deal to sell some of our most advanced chips to Chinese companies, giving them a leg up over American entrepreneurs. That is a mistake.”
