Senator Elizabeth Warren, Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, has sent a letter to NVIDIA seeking answers on its compliance with U.S. export control laws and the accuracy of its public statements about whether advanced artificial intelligence chips have been diverted to China. The letter points to recent U.S. Department of Justice cases alleging unlawful diversion of NVIDIA products, including millions of dollars in graphics processing units routed through Malaysia and Thailand, exports and attempted exports of USD 160 million in H100 and H200 chips, and USD 510 million in diverted servers. It says those allegations raise questions about Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang’s statements that there is no evidence of AI chip diversion and that NVIDIA’s market share in China has dropped to zero. The letter also asks whether NVIDIA’s board, and specifically its audit committee, has exercised meaningful oversight of export-control compliance, whether the reported cases and indictments triggered board-level review, and whether the company revised its customer diligence and export-control controls. Warren requested a response by June 18, 2026, stating that the information is needed for her legislative work on national security and export controls and for continued oversight of the issues raised.
