Senators Warren and Coons request preservation of Nvidia export records
U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Chris Coons have asked the Trump administration to preserve records on Nvidia’s exports of advanced AI chips to China. They seek documentation of licensing decisions and national‑security assessments related to Nvidia’s H200 chips, with Warren setting a deadline of January 12 2026 for Commerce Department records. The senators argue that preserving this paper trail is needed before upcoming hearings on export controls. The administration has allowed limited H200 sales to China under a revenue‑sharing fee of 15‑25 percent, a policy critics say lacks oversight. Lawmakers are also pushing legislation such as the AI OVERWATCH Act and the SAFE CHIPS Act to codify stricter export restrictions.
