The Trump administration is reportedly considering measures to limit Nvidia's (NVDA) sales of AI chips to China. This move includes potential penalties that could prevent Chinese AI star DeepSeek from acquiring U.S. technology and restrict American access to its services. The House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party has initiated an investigation into Nvidia's chip sales across Asia, evaluating whether the company might have violated U.S. regulations by enabling DeepSeek to develop AI capabilities.
Additionally, the administration intends to end the IRS Direct File program, a free electronic tax filing system established during the Biden presidency.

In a separate development, trading activity surged in the stocks of Unusual Machines (UMAC) and Dominari Holdings (DOMH) in anticipation of Trump family members joining their advisory boards. Unusual Machines saw its stock nearly triple, while Dominari Holdings experienced a 580% boost, raising eyebrows among regulatory experts due to the timing and magnitude of these movements.
Meanwhile, Trump Media and Technology Group (DJT) sent a memo to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission alleging suspicious trading activities by the U.K.-based hedge fund Qube Research & Technologies. The memo suggests this might involve illegal naked short selling of DJT shares.
In the automotive sector, Ford Motor (F) has warned dealers of potential price hikes next month if current tariffs on automotive imports remain unchanged.
