Nvidia’s

H200 AI chip sales to China remain in limbo nearly two months after U.S. President Donald Trump approved exports, pending a U.S. national security review, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the discussions.

Chinese customers are, meanwhile, not placing H200 chip orders with Nvidia until it becomes clear whether they will be able to secure the licenses or what conditions will be attached, the report said.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report. Nvidia and the U.S. State Department did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment outside regular business hours.

In January, the Commerce Department eased export curbs on the H200 for China, but required license applications to be reviewed by the U.S. departments of State, Defense and Energy.
