The Trump administration has reportedly imposed new export controls on semiconductors intended for artificial intelligence, according to reports mentioning companies like Anthropic. At the same time, the MATCH Act (Modeling Advanced Technology Controls Harmonization Act) has been introduced as a bill to consolidate and harmonize controls with allied countries' rules. To date, no official instrument detailing the measures or the bill's status has been published.

The United States has maintained export restrictions on advanced semiconductors to China for years. If passed, the MATCH Act would seek to close regulatory gaps and prevent companies in allied countries from serving as circumvention channels. The proposal would require allies to adopt standards equivalent to U.S. ones, potentially extending the reach of controls.
