Two members of U.S. Congress are calling on President Donald Trump's administration to consider restricting the export of artificial intelligence chips made by Nvidia , alleging Chinese AI firm DeepSeek has relied on them.

Nvidia said in a statement it is "ready to work with the administration as it pursues its own approach to AI."

The U.S. Treasury Department on Friday imposed sanctions on alleged hacker Yin Kecheng and cybersecurity company Sichuan Juxinhe Network Technology Co., accusing both of being involved in a series of hacks against American telecom companies.

Export controls need to be tightened after revelations the Chinese company used Nvidia technology, the leaders of a congressional committee said.

Two members of the U.S. Congress, Republican John Moolenaar and Democrat Raja Krishnamoorthi, are urging President Donald Trump's administration to consider placing restrictions on the export of artificial intelligence (AI) chips manufactured by Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA).
