Interesting move from the White House: Trump just greenlit Nvidia's H200 chip sales to select Chinese buyers, but here's the kicker—Uncle Sam takes a 25% cut from every deal. Word on the street is Beijing isn't exactly thrilled about this arrangement. Makes you wonder how this'll play out for AI infrastructure and crypto mining operations that rely on these high-end chips. The geopolitics of computational power just got messier.

NGL, this policy is kind of funny. The US wants to sell chips and take a cut at the same time—isn't that just wanting the best of both worlds... But honestly, Beijing does have a reason to be unhappy.

ngl this move is really brilliant, the US wants to sell chips and also take a cut in the middle... Beijing must be cursing right now

tbh this 25% tax is way too harsh... crypto miners are gonna cry, and chip costs are going up again
ngl, the US played this move really well—making money while blocking China, smart move
25% cut? Might as well just ban it, this way everyone suffers
Mining machine costs are going to skyrocket again, oh my god...
The computing power landscape is going to change dramatically now
Trump really treats AI chips like a cash machine, haha
Beijing definitely won't be happy, but there's nothing they can do... geopolitics is just this ruthless
Pretty funny, acting as a middleman to profit from the difference
Crypto miners are getting squeezed again... damn, it's so hard for me
Uncle Sam's tricks are getting more and more intense

The US is really getting better at doing business. It's already troublesome enough that mining chips are being restricted, and now they're imposing a 25% tariff... There's no way Beijing would agree to this.
