Nvidia, AMD to pay 15pct of China chip sale revenues to US
The revenue share applies to Nvidia's H20 chips and AMD's MI308 chips, the report said, citing a US official, noting that the Trump administration had yet to determine how to use the money.
The chipmakers agreed to the arrangement as a condition for obtaining export licences for the Chinese market that were granted last week, FT reported.
Nvidia follows rules the US government sets for its participation in worldwide markets, an Nvidia spokesperson told Reuters in an emailed statement.
"While we haven't shipped H20 to China for months, we hope export control rules will let America compete in China and worldwide."
AMD did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Commerce Department started issuing licences to Nvidia to export its H20 chips to China last week, removing a significant hurdle to the artificial intelligence bellwether's access to a key market.
The US last month reversed an April ban on the sale of the H20 chip to China. The company had tailored the microprocessor specially to the Chinese market to comply with the Biden-era AI chip export controls.

Trump seeks full peace agreement after no breakthrough in ceasefire talk with Putin
Published on: Sunday, August 17, 2025 Published on: Sun, Aug 17, 2025 By: AFP Text Size: Trump (R) and Putin hold a joint press conference following a US-Russia summit on Ukraine. WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump failed to secure a Ukraine war ceasefire at a high-stakes summit with Russia's President Vladimir Putin but insisted on Saturday that he would now target a full peace agreement to end the conflict. Three hours of talks between the White House and Kremlin leaders at an Alaska air base produced no breakthrough but Trump and European leaders said they wanted a new summit that includes Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky said he will now go to Washington on Monday while European leaders said they were ready to instensify sanctions against Russia after Trump briefed them on the summit and they held their own protracted talks. Trump remained upbeat about meeting Putin in a post on his Truth Social platform. 'A great and very successful day in Alaska!,' he proclaimed, adding that European leaders backed his plan for a three-way meeting with Putin and Zelensky. 'It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a peace agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere ceasefire agreement, which often times do not hold up,' he added confirming his meeting with Zelensky on Monday. 'If all works out, we will then schedule a meeting with President Putin. Potentially, millions of people's lives will be saved.' After the summit, Trump spoke first with Zelensky, the White House said. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen later joined the call, officials said. The European leaders, who had been wary of being left out of the Alaska meeting, held their own talks on Saturday and said they supported the proposed three-way summit. 'We are also ready to work with President Trump and President Zelensky towards a trilateral summit with European support,' they said in a joint statement that added that pressure must be maintained on Russia. 'As long as the killing in Ukraine continues, we stand ready to uphold the pressure on Russia. We will continue to strengthen sanctions and wider economic measures to put pressure on Russia's war economy until there is a just and lasting peace,' they said. Russia could not have a 'veto' on Ukraine joining the European Union or NATO, they added. The war, that has killed tens of thousands and devastated much of Ukraine, went on despite the summit. Ukraine announced that Russia had launched 85 attack drones and a ballistic missile during the night. Russia said it had taken two more villages in Ukraine. Trump and Putin emerged from their talks at a Cold War era air base to offer warm words at a press briefing but took no questions from reporters. 'We're not there yet, but we've made progress. There's no deal until there's a deal,' Trump said. He called the meeting 'extremely productive' with 'many points' agreed, but did not offer specifics. 'There are just a very few that are left, some are not that significant, one is probably the most significant,' Trump said without elaborating. Putin also spoke in general terms of cooperation at the joint press appearance that lasted just 12 minutes. 'We hope that the understanding we have reached will... pave the way for peace in Ukraine,' Putin said. As Trump mused about a second meeting, Putin smiled and said in English: 'Next time in Moscow'. The former KGB agent tried to flatter Trump, who has voiced admiration for the Russian leader in the past. Before the summit, Trump had warned of 'severe consequences' if Russia did not accept a ceasefire. But when asked about those consequences during a Fox News interview after the talks, Trump said that 'because of what happened today, I think I don't have to think about that now'. Trump, whose tone with Zelensky has changed since he berated the Ukrainian president at the White House in February, told Fox that 'Now it's really up to President Zelensky to get it done'. Trump could not get Russian agreement to get Zelensky into Friday's talks. But Zelensky, who has rejected suggestions that Ukraine give up territory, said Saturday that he supported the American efforts. 'It is important that America's strength has an impact on the development of the situation,' he said. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Trump supports Putin's Ukraine land proposal amid ongoing conflict
WARSAW: US President Donald Trump has expressed support for a Russian proposal allowing Moscow to take full control of two Ukrainian regions while freezing the front line in two others, according to a source. The source familiar with the matter stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin 'de facto demands that Ukraine leave Donbas,' referring to the eastern regions of Donetsk and Lugansk. 'Trump is inclined to support it,' the source added. Trump discussed the issue with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders following his Friday talks with Putin. 'The Ukrainian president refused to leave Donbas,' the source revealed. Zelensky has firmly opposed territorial concessions, citing Ukraine's constitution, but remains open to trilateral discussions involving Trump and Putin. The New York Times reported that two senior European officials confirmed Trump's backing of Putin's plan to end the war by ceding territory to Russia. The Financial Times noted that Putin had conveyed to Trump his willingness to freeze the frontline if core demands were met. AFP's source indicated that US officials believe Putin would halt offensives in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia if Russia's conditions are accepted. 'But de facto it all will depend on Putin's word of honour,' the source cautioned. Russia previously annexed four Ukrainian regions in 2022 despite not fully controlling them militarily. Russian forces currently occupy nearly all of Lugansk and large parts of Donetsk, including regional capitals. Zaporizhzhia and Kherson remain partially under Ukrainian control, with key cities still held by Kyiv. Moscow's 2014 annexation of Crimea set a precedent for its territorial claims in Ukraine. - AFP

Chery first Chinese carmaker to surpass 5mil vehicle exports
KUALA LUMPUR: Chery International Group has become the first Chinese car company to export more than 5 million vehicles worldwide, maintaining its number one position in passenger car exports for 22 consecutive years. In July 2025, Chery International Group achieved a historic "Double 500" milestone, emerging as the fastest-rising automaker on both the Fortune Global 500 and the Fortune China 500 lists for the second consecutive year, respectively. The group now ranks 233rd globally, up from 385th in 2024 and 59th in China, up from 100th in 2024. These achievements were driven by the Omoda/Jaecoo brand, whose values have resonated with customers in 44 markets across Asean, Europe, Australia and South America. In just over two years, Omoda/Jaecoo has amassed a 37 per cent share of Chery International's total export volume, with cumulative global sales surpassing 570,000 units. This remarkable performance also set a new record as the fastest emerging brand globally to exceed the half-million mark in sales. Driven by a strong technological foundation, including the advanced Super Hybrid System (SHS), Omoda/Jaecoo models have also made significant strides in the New Energy Vehicle (NEV) category. In the first quarter of this year, NEV models accounted for 13,023 units, a sharp rise from 2,325 units in the same period in 2024. In the first half of 2025, NEVs accounted for 40 per cent of total exports. Omoda/Jaecoo's global momentum is equally evident in Europe, where it has become the fastest-growing Chinese automotive brand and the first ever to sell over 10,000 units in Spain within its first 11 months on the market. In Malaysia, the brand has grown quickly after the Jaecoo J7 was launched in July 2024. Its presence and popularity rose further with the OMODA C9 in December 2024 and the J7 PHEV in February 2025. Exactly one year after introducing the J7, Omoda/Jaecoo Malaysia celebrated yet another key milestone with the July 2025 unveiling of its flagship J8 SUV. The company also announced that more than 17,000 of its vehicles were now on Malaysian roads. According to the Road Transport Department (JPJ), Omoda/Jaecoo remained among Malaysia's Top 5 automotive brands in the first half of 2025, making it the country's most successful Chinese marque. Moving forward, Omoda/Jaecoo's global export strategy will focus on deeper investments in key markets across Europe, South America and Asean.
