WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump suggested on Monday that he would not make a deal with American AI chip giant Nvidia, led by CEO Jensen Huang, to allow for sales of a next-generation advanced GPU in China, but stopped short of ruling it out.

"Jensen also has the new chip, the Blackwell," Trump told reporters. "I wouldn't make a deal with that, although it's possible," he said.
