Trump signals US might ease chip export curbs on some Gulf countries

  • President Donald Trump announced plans to ease US export restrictions on artificial intelligence chips to some Gulf countries ahead of a Middle East tour starting in Saudi Arabia.
  • The move follows the Biden administration's imposition of complex export controls, scheduled to take effect on May 15, aimed at limiting chip access to China and others through a three-tier licensing system.
  • Trump's administration criticized the Biden-era rule as bureaucratic, unenforceable, and limiting American innovation, and is considering replacing the tiered approach with a simpler global licensing regime.
  • A Commerce Department spokeswoman said the Biden rule was "unenforceable" and officials "didn't like the tiered system," while Nvidia shares rose 3% on the news of potential changes.
  • Easing export curbs could improve US ties with Gulf nations and reshape chip trade controls, but debate continues and no timetable exists for the new rule's implementation.
