WASHINGTON, D.C.: Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the Trump administration is asking companies and foreign governments to help stop China from getting U.S. computer chips, repeating his claim that Chinese AI company DeepSeek misused American chips.
"People took our chips and sold them to China for money," Lutnick said at a government conference. "Sometimes it's a little money, sometimes a lot, but they are helping those who want to harm our way of life."
He added that the administration wants to include export rules in trade agreements, so countries must choose between supporting America's values and making more money by trading with opponents.
Lutnick also warned that if the U.S. lost Taiwan and access to its chips, it would be impossible to build cars.
Lutnick also discussed Trump's effort to boost U.S. production of aluminum, steel, semiconductor chips, and other goods. "We need to build drones, and we need to protect our drones," Lutnick said. We also need to build data centers."
