Trump Signals He’ll Bring Up Nvidia’s “Super‑Duper” Chips With China’s Xi

U.S. President Donald Trump has indicated that his upcoming meeting with China’s leader Xi Jinping may include discussions about Nvidia’s advanced “Blackwell” AI‑chip, which Trump dubbed the “super‑duper chip.” Speaking aboard Air Force One en route to South Korea, Trump praised the technological edge represented by the Blackwell chip and said he is “very optimistic” about the Xi meeting, though he gave no further details on what the talks would entail. The chip has become a flashpoint in U.S.–China trade tensions: the U.S. has been restricting exports of Nvidia’s most advanced chips to China over national‑security concerns, particularly regarding their potential military applications. For Nvidia, China represents a critical market — though its top‑end chips remain blocked, resulting in increased pressure on domestic Chinese firms and heightened demand despite restrictions. With trade and technology issues converging, this meeting could be a moment of softening or tightening in the export controls that have defined recent U.S.‑China tech rivalry. #AIchips #USChinaTrade #NvidiaBlackwell #TechGeopolitics #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
