However, industry observers and Chinese tech companies had previously anticipated that the H20 would be included in other banned hardware lists. Last week, there were reports that the Trump administration had suspended the ban on exporting Nvidia H20 GPUs to ChinaAccording to reports, before the potential ban on the sale of artificial intelligence chips in China by the United States, Alibaba (BABA), Tencent (TCEHY), and ByteDance (BDNCE) placed orders for at least 16 billion dollars for Nvidia's H20 server chips in the first three months of 2025.In the early hours of Tuesday Eastern Time, U.S. President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that NVIDIA has committed to investing 500 billion dollars to build supercomputers in the United States.&#34;This is very significant and exciting news,&#34; he said. &#34;All necessary permits will be expedited and quickly delivered to NVIDIA, just like all companies committed to participating in America's golden age!&#34;Compiled from the internet and SEC
