Comment by Elizabeth Warren

The American public deserves answers. Mr. Huang should be brought in front of Congress to testify under oath. And he should be joined by Secretary Lutnick and every other Trump Administration official involved in this decision. Congress does not need to stand by helplessly. Both Republicans and Democrats understand the risks here, and we should pass bipartisan legislation that reins in this Administration as soon as possible. The Guaranteeing Access and Innovation for National AI Act, called the GAIN Act, that Senator Banks and I introduced would prohibit Nvidia from shipping advanced chips to China while American universities, American start-ups, and American small businesses are waiting in line to buy the company’s chips. Senator Ricketts and Senator Coons have introduced another bill that Senator Banks and I support. It’s called the SAFE Chips Act, and it would prohibit the President from greenlighting advanced AI chip sales to China.
