The US is exploring a potential relaxation of restrictions on Nvidia Corp.’s sales to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This move could be announced by President Donald Trump during his upcoming visit to the Gulf region. However, no official decision has been made, and talks about modifying AI chip curbs for the UAE are ongoing at both the Commerce Department and the White House. The issue of semiconductor trade rules remains a topic of debate in Washington, but discussions have gained momentum, indicating that the US may be open to easing its stance on Nvidia’s sales to the UAE.
