US Senators Seek Nvidia Export Records Over China Security Concerns

US Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Chris Coons have asked the Trump administration to preserve all documents related to Nvidia's chip exports to China, citing national security concerns. The request follows allegations about CEO Jensen Huang's ties to a suspected Chinese intelligence operative. Nvidia's board is meeting late Wednesday to consider ousting Huang after media reports alleged his relationship with a Chinese businesswoman aided at least $7.5 billion in chip shipments to China. The senators questioned whether counter-intelligence actions were taken or national security recommendations were overruled. The senators sent a letter to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and White House chief of staff Stephen Miller, also requesting a congressional briefing. Many advanced Nvidia chips face US export restrictions to protect American dominance in the sector.
