Congress weighs tighter restrictions on Nvidia AI chip exports to China after CEO Jensen Huang resigns over spy scandal

US House Speaker Mike Johnson said bipartisan consensus is building in Congress to limit chip exports to China after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stepped down amid reports of a relationship with a businesswoman suspected of spying for Beijing. Republicans are seeking to attach AI chip export curbs to the annual defense authorization bill, and at least four chip export bills have gained momentum since Monday. Sen. Jim Banks said no chips should be sold to China and that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Nvidia lobbied against his earlier bill.
