Nvidia, AMD agree to pay US 15% of China chip sale revenue
Nvidia plans to share 15% of the revenue from sales of its H20 chip in China and AMD will deliver the same share from MI308 revenues, added the person, who asked for anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. The Financial Times earlier reported the development.
It followed a separate report from the Financial Times that the US Commerce Department started issuing H20 licenses on Friday, two days after Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang met President Donald Trump.
The Trump administration had frozen the sale of some advanced chips to China earlier this year as trade tensions spiked between the world's two largest economies.
An Nvidia spokesperson said the company follows US export rules, adding that while it hasn't shipped H20 chips to China for months, it hopes the rules will allow US companies to compete in China. AMD didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Separately, Intel Chief Executive Officer Lip-Bu Tan is expected to visit the White House on Monday after Trump called for his dismissal last week over his ties to Chinese businesses, the Wall Street Journal reported Sunday. –BLOOMBERG

Foreigners in Malaysia must obey laws regardless of visa status
KUALA LUMPUR: Foreign nationals in Malaysia are not exempt from legal consequences, regardless of their visa status. Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail (pic) stressed that strict measures will be taken against lawbreakers. He said pass cancellations, blacklisting, and deportations apply to all violators, irrespective of background. 'Visa status, whether as a student, investor, or MM2H participant, does not grant immunity from Malaysian laws,' he stated. He emphasised that national security and public safety remain top priorities. The Royal Malaysia Police enforces laws professionally, without bias based on nationality. Recent viral cases involving foreigners are being handled according to legal procedures. Malaysia permits low-skilled foreign workers only from 15 approved source countries, excluding China. Chinese workers in low-skilled roles are restricted to major government projects like the ECRL. As of Aug 15, 30,679 Chinese nationals were registered as professional expatriates in Malaysia. The construction sector employs the highest number, followed by manufacturing and services. Saifuddin reiterated Malaysia's commitment to investment and global cooperation without compromising security. He urged Malaysians to trust authorities in maintaining safety and sovereignty. 'Every threat will be addressed to keep Malaysia safe and prosperous,' he concluded. - Bernama

US proposes NATO-style security guarantees for Ukraine amid talks
KYIV: The US has proposed security guarantees for Ukraine similar to NATO's collective defence agreement but separate from the alliance. The proposal emerged during a call between US President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and European leaders on Saturday. Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni confirmed the US suggested a security guarantee 'inspired' by NATO's Article 5. A diplomatic source told AFP the US proposed 'a non-NATO Article 5 type guarantee, supposedly agreed with Putin.' NATO's Article 5 states that an attack on one member is considered an attack on all, requiring collective defence. Meloni said the proposal would allow Ukraine to receive support from partners, including the US, if attacked again. She clarified in March that such a response would not necessarily mean military action. Kyiv has long sought NATO membership, but Russia opposes it, citing security concerns. Trump has consistently rejected Ukraine's bid to join NATO. Before the joint call, Trump and Zelensky discussed the recent Alaska summit with Putin. The diplomatic source said the US reiterated its proposal during talks with European leaders. Another source confirmed NATO-like guarantees were discussed but questioned Putin's approval. The source added, 'No-one knows how this could work and why Putin would agree to it.' Meloni's statement did not mention whether Putin was consulted on the proposal. Zelensky is scheduled to meet Trump in Washington on Monday. The second source said Zelensky will discuss a potential Trump-Putin-Zelensky summit and security guarantees. - AFP

Ukrainians sceptical of Trump-Putin meeting outcomes
KYIV: Pavlo Nebroev stayed awake late into the night in Kharkiv, waiting for the press conference between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. The US and Russian leaders met in Alaska to discuss Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine, now in its fourth year. From Kharkiv, a city heavily bombarded by Russian forces, the meeting appeared to favour Putin. 'I saw the results I expected. I think this is a great diplomatic victory for Putin,' said Nebroev, a 38-year-old theatre manager. 'He has completely legitimised himself.' Trump's invitation to Putin ended the West's isolation of the Russian leader since the 2022 invasion. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, excluded from the talks, called it Putin's 'personal victory.' Nebroev and many Ukrainians were shocked the meeting occurred without Ukrainian representation. 'This was a useless meeting,' he said. 'Issues concerning Ukraine should be resolved with Ukraine, with the participation of Ukrainians, the president.' Trump later briefed European leaders and Zelensky, who will meet the US president in Washington on Monday. The talks concluded without a deal, and Trump avoided press questions, unusual for the media-savvy leader. Olya Donik, 36, walking in a Kharkiv park, was unsurprised by the outcome. 'It ended with nothing. Alright, let's continue living our lives here in Ukraine,' she said. Hours after the meeting, Kyiv reported Russian attacks involving 85 drones and a ballistic missile. 'Whether there are talks or not, Kharkiv is being shelled almost every day,' said Iryna Derkach, a 50-year-old photographer. She paused for Ukraine's daily minute of silence honouring war victims. 'We believe in victory, we know it will come, but God only knows who exactly will bring it about,' she said. Derkach, like many, distrusted Trump's intentions. 'We do our job and don't pay too much attention to what Trump is doing,' she added. In Kyiv, cosplayer Kateryna Fuchenko, 30, doubted Trump's support for Ukraine. 'I don't think he is for Ukraine,' she said. She criticised Trump for appearing friendly with Putin. 'They just poured water from empty to empty, back and forth, as always,' she said, dismissing the talks as meaningless. Kyiv pensioner Volodymyr Yanukovych expected continued Russian attacks on the capital. Pharmacist Larysa Melnyk saw no signs of peace. 'I don't think there will be a truce,' she said. She warned any ceasefire would likely be temporary. Russia has a history of 'unleashing major conflicts,' she noted, referencing the 2008 Georgia war. 'Why does nobody react to this?' she asked. - AFP
