The Justice Department yesterday announced that two businessmen are in custody for allegedly smuggling Nvidia H100 and H200 chips to China. The alleged smuggling network “threatens our Nation’s security by funneling cutting-edge AI technology to those who would use it against American interests,”
Nvidia received the green light from the U.S. to sell its advanced H200 chip to China. But there are questions over whether Beijing will allow this to happen.
Nvidia can sell the more advanced H200 AI chip to China — but will Beijing want them?

The Republican Party insists that “wokeness” is the gravest threat to freedom—while shrugging at concentration camps, secret police, and mass detentions without trial. Pronouns in bios are tyranny. But throwing immigrants in cages? Just good governance.

This is a batshit crazy quote. “This Department of Justice believes that the 2nd Amendment is not a second-class right,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “And we are glad to end a needless cycle of litigation with a settlement that will enhance public safety.”
NEW: The Trump administration has decided to permit the sale of devices that enable standard firearms to fire rapid bursts of bullets, a move that critics say “effectively legalized machine guns.”
Trump admin permits sale of device that allows standard firearms to fire like machine guns
Gun control groups condemned the move as “a dangerous backroom deal spearheaded by Trump’s general counsel” that “effectively legalized machine guns.”

From what I can find, tariffs on China held over by Biden from trump’s first term were 25% or more. Now they are 30%. Only a 5% hike. How is this going to stop the flow of “cheap Chinese goods” into the US? Reshoring business to the US was never a goal.

This article literally says nothing about how this agreement "decouples" us from China other than "we are going to produce our own steel". An absolute joke that's juicing the markets.
