WASHINGTON, Dec 22 (Reuters) - Two senior Democratic lawmakers on Monday asked the U.S. Commerce Department to disclose details and any approvals of ‌ongoing license reviews for potential sales to Chinese ​firms of Nvidia's ( NVDA ) second-most powerful AI chips.

President ‍Trump this month said ⁠he would allow ⁠sales of Nvidia's ( NVDA ) (NVDA.O) H200 chips to China, with the U.S. ‌government collecting a 25% ​fee, and that the sales would help keep U.S. firms ⁠ahead of Chinese ‍chipmakers by ​cutting demand for Chinese chips.

Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Gregory Meeks in ‍a letter seen by Reuters asked the Commerce Department to disclose all license applications for H200 chips for Chinese companies and disclose any approved ​licenses ‍within 48 hours of the approval date. The lawmakers also want ​a briefing on the issue before approvals are issued including "an assessment of the military potential of the chips approved for export and the reaction of allies and ​partners to the decision to export these chips."
