I agree with your view on political rhetoric, however, that doesn't mean these things aren't issues of national security.

Having access to the fastest chips is a matter of national security, at least for the US. The AI race (even if it's just faster NN processing) has massive implications for modern warfare and national security.

And in the case of issues that could touch on foreign trade or investment treaties, you may have to justify your policy using certain exceptions such as "national security".

Makes sense. I think it's going to be a lot more difficult for Nvidia to argue against this, rather than if the intervention had been about competition or something.
