Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson called China an “adversary” of the U.S. on Wednesday after a report that the country has told tech companies to stop buying Nvidia‘s artificial intelligence chips.
The Cyberspace Administration of China ordered companies to halt purchases of Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D, a chip that was made for the country, the FT reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
“We can only be in service of a market if a country wants us to be,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said at a press conference in response to the ban on the company’s chips. “I’m disappointed with what I see but they have larger agendas to work out between China and the United States.”
