The U.S. and China did not hold in-depth talks on Washington's strict chip export controls against China, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told Bloomberg TV on Thursday.
"This was not a major topic of discussion at the bilateral meeting... We did not talk about chip export controls at the meeting," Greer said in an interview on Bloomberg TV.
Greer said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang did discuss the company with China, but did not elaborate on the discussions. He added that it was up to China whether or not to purchase Nvidia chips.
Greer's comments come after Reuters reported that Nvidia was approved to sell its second-most powerful AI chip, the H200, to 10 Chinese companies, but no sales had been made so far.
Apart from chips, Greer told Bloomberg that he anticipates China will commit to more large American agricultural purchases, and that Beijing was keeping up with its soybean purchase commitments.
Greer said he did not expect the "Taiwan issue to bleed into board of trade," after China signaled that the island was its biggest point of focus during ongoing talks.
U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping held bilateral talks in Beijing on Thursday, accompanied by business leaders including Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Nvidia's Jensen Huang, and Apple CEO Tim Cook.
