It would be the US taking a 25% cut in the form of tariffs:
“Under the scheme, Nvidia chips manufactured in Taiwan could be sold to Chinese companies if they were first imported into the United States for a security review, which would require payment of a 25% tariff under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, a trade law designed to address imports that threaten national security. Then the Commerce Department would grant Nvidia an export license to sell the chips to Chinese companies.”

This administration never ceases to amaze me
A security review... of the physical chips? With an electron microscope or something? How is that supposed to work even on paper?
