- USA plan to drop the Biden-Era-Diffusion Rule
- The export restrictions affected allies as well as concerns
- Trump wants to “end past conflicts and blacksmith new partnerships” including in the Middle East
According to a new report from South China Morning PostsThe Trump administration plans to cancel the Biden-era diffusion rule, which was introduced to limit the spread of AI chips abroad.
The announcement came from the White House and Crypto Medman David Sacks, who revealed the change during the Saudi-US Investment Forum in Riyadh.
Sacks explained that Saudi Arabia is not considered a national security risk, which requires more open technical export between trusted partners.

The diffusion rule was part of the bite’s efforts to block AI chip access to countries with concern, especially China. China’s military and AI capabilities were the primary cause of concern with the White House, which was previously concerned that the country could use OS-Build Semi-leaders to promote its own technology.
However, sacks explained that the rule has had an impact on allies unnecessarily. Now that the United States is looking for closer technical ties with Middle Eastern nations, accelerated by much lower tariffs than those imposed on China, export rules must be changed.
“The Trump administration has just announced that we will resign what is known as the Biden -Diffusion Rule … It has literally limited the diffusion or spread of American technology around the world,” Sacks said.
Critics also claimed that the countries with the export rules in place were forced to buy tech from China because of the more favorable pricing and fewer restrictions.
“As I have repeatedly shown, I am willing to end previous conflicts and forge new partnerships for a better and more stable world, although our differences can be very in -depth,” Trump explained in an address of the event.
