At the Washington D.C.E.D. event on the 23rd, US President Trump revealed that he had considered splitting the world's most valuable technology company NVIDIA (Nvidia), to promote competition in the AI chip market.

Trump recalled his conversation with an unnamed advisor, and when he asked about Nvidia's market share, the advisor told him that the company had significant leading edge in the AI chip market. Trump said that when he first heard the name Nvidia, he didn't even know what the company was. As his understanding of Nvidia deepened, Trump gradually realized that splitting the company might be counterproductive.

Nvidia's chief executive officer Huang Renfeng successfully convinced the Trump administration to allow the company to sell H20 chips to China, and this decision opened a new source of revenue for Nvidia. Trump mentioned in his speech that he initially wanted to break Nvidia's failure, but after learning about the company's competitive advantages, he chose to give up the idea. Huang Rensheng emphasized that the sales of these chips are limited to specific types of AI chips, with the goal of allowing Chinese developers to gradually rely on the US technical ecosystem.

After Trump's policy changes, Nvidia's market value reached tens of thousands of billions of dollars before its announcement, becoming one of the most influential technology companies in the market. Although the Biden administration has launched an anti-resistance investigation against Nvidia, Trump's change in attitude towards splitting Nvidia means that relevant legal complaints are unlikely to occur in the future. This series of events not only affected the United States' science and technology policies, but also leveled the way for Nvidia's future development.
