Two U.S. Congress members, Republican John Moolenaar and Democrat Raja Krishnamoorthi, are urging President Trump’s administration to consider restricting exports of Nvidia AI chips, citing their use by Chinese AI firm DeepSeek.
They requested as part of a review led by the Commerce and State Departments to assess U.S. export controls on strategic adversaries.
The lawmakers allege that DeepSeek’s new AI model heavily relies on Nvidia’s H20 chip, which is currently outside U.S. export restrictions.
Growing concerns in Washington focus on China’s rapid AI advancements, with DeepSeek claiming its AI assistant uses less data at a lower cost than competitors.
The U.S. House of Representatives has notified its offices not to use DeepSeek, citing a review. The U.S. government is concerned China could use AI for cyberattacks or bioweapons, prompting efforts to limit access to AI chips.
Nvidia stated that its products comply with government requirements and is ready to collaborate with the administration.
