  3. Meeks Criticizes Trump’s Decision to Allow Sale of Advanced AI Chips to China

Dec 9, 2025 | Press Releases

Washington, DC — Representative Gregory W. Meeks, Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, issued the following statement on the Trump administration’s decision to allow NVIDIA to sell advanced semiconductor chips to China: 

“Trump’s decision to sell NVIDIA H200 chips to China makesone thing clear:  under this administration, our national security isfor sale.

“This unilateral concession to China will accelerate China’s AI industry, giving away America’s technological edge to the very companies trying to evade U.S.export controls. This decision reeks of corruption. NVIDIA’s CEO has directly lobbied the administration for months and is being rewarded over the objections of Trump’s own national security team. Export control decisions must be made based on national security, not solely on the whims of the president and the offer coming from the highest bidder.”
