The U.S. government has announced a major policy shift targeting tech giants Nvidia and AMD. In an unprecedented move, these companies must now pay 15 percent of their AI chip sales revenue from China directly to the U.S. government. This directive, negotiated under President Trump’s administration, aims to tighten control over advanced technology exports to China while securing a financial return for the United States.
New Revenue Sharing Policy for Tech Giants
The agreement marks a significant change in how the U.S. approaches international tech trade. Nvidia and AMD, leaders in the artificial intelligence chip sector, rely on the Chinese market for substantial sales. With this new arrangement, every AI chip sold in China will see 15% of its revenue redirected to U.S. government coffers.
This move is part of a broader effort to ensure that American innovation is protected and that the nation benefits financially from its critical technologies. Industry experts watch closely to see how this will impact global chip sales, U.S.-China tech relations, and the strategies of other major semiconductor players.
