Export Rule

首相は、世界的な燃料危機の最中は、アジアの貿易パートナーとの関係を「危うくする最悪のタイミングである」と述べている。アンソニー・アルバニージー首相は、来月の連邦予算に既存のガス輸出契約に対する新税は盛り込まれないことを認め、生産者への課税を求める「ポピュリスト」的なキャンペーンを批判した。先週の報道通り、アルバニージー首相はガス輸出に25％の税を導入せよという圧力に拒否感を示していた。これは、介入によって、ディーゼルやガソリンの供給を頼りにしているアジアの貿易パートナーとの関係が悪化することを懸念したためである。

The US Commerce Department withdrew a planned rule on artificial-intelligence chip exports on Friday, marking the latest policy reversal by the Trump administration regarding technology trade controls. The withdrawal represents a significant shift in the administration's approach to regulating AI semiconductor exports, which had been a contentious issue affecting companies like Nvidia and other chipmakers. This decision follows earlier statements from administration officials indicating a more flexible stance on AI chip distribution policies compared to previous regulatory frameworks. The reversal signals potential changes in how the US will manage competition with foreign nations in advanced semiconductor and AI technology sectors.

The US Commerce Department withdrew a planned rule on Friday that would have required permits for exports of advanced AI chips from companies like Nvidia and AMD to global customers. The abandoned Trump administration proposal aimed to involve case-by-case reviews by the Commerce Department's licensing office, contingent on factors such as government agreements and end-user computing power needs. Commerce officials rejected returning to the prior administration's 'burdensome, overreaching and disastrous' AI diffusion framework. This decision eases restrictions on the semiconductor industry amid ongoing trade tensions.
