Oracle Cancels $7 Billion Tencent AI Chip Deal Amid US Pressure
Oracle has canceled a $7 billion chip leasing contract with Tencent following pressure from the Trump administration, according to the Financial Times. US officials raised concerns about the deal, which would have given Tencent access to 100,000 advanced AI chips unavailable in China. Tencent also faced domestic pressure from Guangdong officials to support Chinese chips. The deal involved a five-year lease across Oracle data centers in Southeast Asia.
