Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren has issued a call to the Trump administration, urging the closure of a regulatory loophole that has potentially facilitated the export of advanced American AI chips to overseas branches of Chinese firms.

Warren, who is the ranking member of the Senate Banking Committee, has also called on Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to testify regarding this crucial matter, according to a statement obtained by Reuters.

The U.S. Commerce Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the issue, leaving the matter unresolved as the debate surges over technology exports and national security concerns.
