2 U.S. senators asked Nvidia to preserve records

Two U.S. senators have asked the Trump administration to preserve government records tied to Nvidia's ($NVDA) AI chip exports to China and to explain the national security risks involved. In a letter dated June 11 released by the Senate Banking Committee, Elizabeth Warren and Chris Coons pressed Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Secretary of State and National Security Advisor Marco Rubio, and White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller to retain all relevant documents. The lawmakers warned that the matter raises serious concerns about the federal government's ability to enforce export controls and safeguard national security. Records to be preserved include communications between Nvidia executives and government officials. The request signals heightened congressional scrutiny of how Washington manages chip export policy toward Beijing. What to watch next is whether the administration produces the records and whether the dispute escalates into formal oversight or legislative action affecting Nvidia's China business.
