🇺🇸Senators Lisa Blunt Rochester and John Curtis requested stricter chip export controls in a letter to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.

The supplied report says Senators Lisa Blunt Rochester and John Curtis wrote to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick requesting stricter chip export controls. It also reports that they expressed deep concern about the situation involving NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang.

The documented action is a senatorial request, not an enacted export restriction or a Commerce Department licensing decision. The message does not reproduce the letter’s proposed technical thresholds, destinations, enforcement mechanisms, or implementation dates.

Separately, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Treasury had been pushing for export controls and questioned NVIDIA’s ability to control where its chips ultimately went. He also said China should not receive chips above H100s, but the supplied messages do not establish that this statement became a new rule or that the senators proposed the same threshold.
