Trump plans to change Biden's rules about computer chips sent worldwide. His team wants to cancel the AI sharing system set for May 15 and make separate deals with each friendly country. The US will talk directly with places like Saudi Arabia instead of dividing 120 nations into three groups with different limits. Bans will stay firm against China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, perhaps becoming stronger. Officials might lower the warning level from 1,700 to 500 chip units to stop secret sales to China.
Chip makers liked the news as their stocks went up on hopes for clearer rules. Countries near China watch closely and ask for clear steps during changes. The old rules from January 2025 tried to bring India, Malaysia, and Poland into stricter export controls. Many people called that system hard to understand and not good for trade talks. The new plan will link chip access with trade deals and money for factories.
