The restrictions were introduced by the administration of Joe Biden
Joe Biden's regulations issued in the last days of administration significantly limiting the export of advanced GPU chips to all countries outside 18 “key allies” of the US caused criticism of both the European Union, the associations of the semiconductor industry, and their largest manufacturer, NVIDIA.
The rules were divided by world countries into three categories: 18 “key allies”, whose restrictions do not apply, over 120 other countries (including Poland), which according to standard rules will be able to bring 50 thousand. GPU per year, as well as countries (including China and Russia), where the embargo applies.
