Trump Moves to Undo Biden’s AI Chip Export Ban

Trump Reverses Biden-Era AI Chip Policy

In a major policy reversal, the Trump administration announced its intention to rescind a key Biden-era rule that restricted exports of advanced AI chips to China. Officials argue that the previous administration’s approach limited U.S. economic leverage and innovation in semiconductor markets.

National Security and Economic Ramifications

While the Biden administration cited national security for the restrictions, the Trump team claims the rule actually undermines long-term U.S. tech leadership. Industry leaders remain divided, with some praising the move as pro-business and others warning of increased geopolitical tensions.
