According to Trump, he informed the President of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping, about this. He reacted positively.

The US President also announced that Washington will levy a 25% fee on such supplies. In August this year, a 15% fee was proposed.

"We will protect national security, create American jobs, and maintain leadership in artificial intelligence.
