China and the US clash at the UN over the Panama Canal, a focus of Trump's attention

Washington Post20 hours ago
UNITED NATIONS — The United States and China clashed over the Panama Canal at the United Nations on Monday, with the U.S. warning that Beijing's influence over the key waterway could threaten global trade and security and China calling U.S. accusations a pretext to take over the canal.
The clash took place at a U.N. Security Council meeting where Panama's President José Raúl Mulino stressed the neutrality of the canal and his country's ownership of the waterway linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

White House says chips deals could perhaps expand to other companies

(Refiles to fix capitalization in headline, add period to end of second paragraph) (Reuters) -The White House said on Tuesday that perhaps deals could be expanded to other chip companies after Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices agreed to give the U.S. government 15% of revenue from sales to China of certain advanced chips. "It stands with these two companies, perhaps it could expand in the future to other companies. I think it's a creative idea and solution," press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a press briefing.

Trump Defends 15% Nvidia China Revenue Deal

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) could regain limited China access after President Donald Trump said he may allow a downgraded Blackwell chip and defended a reported plan for the U.S. to take 15% of H20 sales in exchange for export licenses. Speaking to reporters, Trump said he would consider shipments of a Blackwell reduced by 30% to 50%. He fielded questions about reported licenses for Nvidia and AMD (NASDAQ:AMD), adding he first asked for 20% before agreeing to 15%. He stressed the arrangement applies only to H20, which he called obsolete and something China already has in a different form. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Signs with AMD. The idea drew warnings from analysts and China hawks who worry advanced U.S. chips could aid Beijing's ambitions. Trump said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will meet him again to discuss an unenhanced version of the big one. Any Blackwell move would still depend on clear performance limits and formal export rules. A license path could restore some China revenue, trim margins and keep geopolitics front and center for chipmakers and for formal license terms, possible 30% to 50% Blackwell caps and the outcome of the next meeting between Trump and Huang.

China Urges Firms to Shun Nvidia H20 Chips After Trump Pivot

Beijing has urged local companies to avoid using Nvidia Corp.'s H20 processors, particularly for government-related purposes, complicating the chipmaker's return to China after the Trump administration reversed an effective US ban on such sales. Over the past few weeks, Chinese authorities have sent notices to a range of firms discouraging use of the less-advanced semiconductors, people familiar with the matter said. The guidance was particularly strong against the use of H20s for any government or national security-related work by state enterprises or private companies, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is sensitive.
