Trump denied discussing Nvidia's advanced Blackwell chip sales with Xi, despite ongoing US export controls limiting China's access to cutting-edge AI semiconductors.
- On Oct 30, President Donald Trump said he discussed chip access with Xi, signaling efforts to clear a blockade on H20 and another Nvidia AI semiconductor, helping Nvidia reach a $5 trillion market value on Wednesday.

- The future for Blackwell chips is uncertain after President Donald Trump told reporters `we're not talking about the Blackwell` despite pledging to discuss it with Xi.
