<p>Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent praised the 15% revenue-sharing agreement between the U.S. government and chip companies Nvidia and AMD, which allows them to export chips to China. Bessent sees potential for this model to expand to other industries, with revenue aimed at reducing national debt. However, legal experts express concerns over the unprecedented nature of the deal, which lacks Congressional input. AMD has a higher exposure to China than Nvidia, with significant revenue implications for both companies.</p>
