The Trump administration has paused plans to tighten restrictions on sales of Nvidia's (NVDA) H20 chip to companies in China, NPR reported Wednesday.

The H20 is less powerful than Nvidia’s latest chips and is tailored to meet existing U.S. export r⛦estrictions. The White Ho♑use had been considering curbing Nvidia’s ability to sell the chip in China, but those plans were put on hold after CEO Jensen Huang attended a dinner at Mar-a-Lago last week, where President Trump made an appearance, according to the report.

Nvidia declined to remark on the report, 💮while the Commerce Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
