NEW YORK: President Donald Trump’s controversial plan to take a cut of revenue from chip sales to China has US companies reconsidering their plans for business with the country, offering a model for circumventing years of trade tensions.
Experts and people familiar with the matter said the surprise deal, in which Nvidia Corp and Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD) agreed to pay 15% of their revenues from Chinese AI chip sales to the United States, provides a path to enter the Chinese market despite severe export controls, tariffs and other trade barriers.
