Trump administration clears way for Nvidia H200 chip sales to China with a 25% surcharge
Why it matters
The US has cleared the sale of Nvidia's H200 chip to China, but with a 25% surcharge, indicating a compromise on export restrictions. However, the H200's performance has been surpassed by newer Nvidia chips, potentially limiting its appeal. This development may have a mixed impact on Nvidia's stock price.
