Trump said Monday that he has cut a deal with chipmaker Nvidia, allowing it to sell certain artificial intelligence chips to China in exchange for a cut of the revenue, which would go to the U.S. government. Trump said he also negotiated a similar deal with chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).

Nvidia and AMD agreed to pay the U.S. government 15% of its revenue from the sale of a certain chips to China. Is that legal?

The latest move risks creating a pay-for-play framework for the sale of sensitive technologies to U.S. adversaries, according to analysts and legal experts.
