US EditionTrump signals US might ease chip export curbs on some Gulf countries
- The Trump administration plans to ease U.S. Export restrictions on artificial intelligence chips for some Gulf countries ahead of a Middle East visit in May 2025.
- This move follows the Biden administration's January 2025 imposition of complex AI chip export controls aimed at limiting China's access by creating a three-tier licensing system.
- The Biden-era rules capped chip exports to most countries except a few allies like G7 members and Taiwan, but attracted criticism from industry players including Nvidia and the EU for being overly restrictive.
- A U.S. Commerce Department spokesperson stated the Trump administration will replace the Biden rule with a simpler framework that "unleashes American innovation" and maintains U.S. AI dominance.
- If finalized, the rollback could allow greater AI chip exports to Gulf states, improving regional ties and signaling a shift in U.S. Semiconductor policy amid competition with China.
