SoFi stock falls after announcing $1.5B public offering of common stock
Investing.com -- A bipartisan group of U.S. senators plans to introduce legislation Thursday that would block Nvidia from selling its most advanced chips to China for 30 months, according to the Financial Times.
The Secure and Feasible Exports Chips Act would require the commerce secretary to deny export licenses for advanced chips to China during this period. The bill would specifically prevent Nvidia from selling its H200 and Blackwell chips to Chinese customers.
Republican Senator Pete Ricketts, chair of the Senate foreign relations east Asia sub-committee and co-sponsor of the legislation with Democratic Senator Chris Coons, emphasized that U.S. leadership in the artificial intelligence race with China largely stems from America’s "dominance of global compute power."
The bill comes as the White House is considering whether to permit Nvidia to export the H200 to China, a possibility that has raised concerns among some officials.
Additional senators backing the legislation include Republicans Tom Cotton and Dave McCormick, along with Democrats Jeanne Shaheen and Andy Kim.
