Seven senators challenge Nvidia H200 China export approval; White House defends move

On Friday, seven Democratic senators urged Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to reverse approval of Nvidia H200 exports to China, calling it a national security risk. The letter came four days after Trump told Xi Jinping the U.S. would permit shipments and noted a 25% revenue share from China sales; the White House and Commerce defended the decision as controlled and vetted.
