财政部长斯科特·贝森特周五指责商务部在将英伟达客户美速科技(Megaspeed)列为潜在国家安全威胁的问题上迟迟未予认定,这是在英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋被解职后,特朗普政府内部公开上演的互相指责闹剧的一部分。

据知情人士透露,黄仁勋辞职引发的余波尚未平息,特朗普总统的部分顾问已开始讨论是否应撤换商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克。另有两名知情人士称,特朗普本人也接到了政府官员和外部顾问的电话,他们对卢特尼克表达了担忧。

截至目前,白宫仍力挺卢特尼克。在贝森特发表言论前的周四,白宫曾发布声明称,特朗普“对这位部长以及他作为现代史上最具变革性的商务部长履职的能力充满信心”。特朗普与卢特尼克是多年好友,消息人士表示,目前还不清楚总统会采取何种行动。

贝森特在接受CNBC采访时表示,特朗普政府的多个部门——包括财政部、国务院、五角大楼和美国贸易代表办公室——都支持将美速科技列入出口黑名单。

他表示,是由卢特尼克领导的商务部没有落实这项工作。

“商务部……握有审批权。有关他们的内部流程,你得去问他们。”他说道。

他暗示,这种不作为违反了特朗普下达的指令。

“我感到很不满,因为特朗普总统已明确表示,不应向中国出口任何高于A100型号的英伟达芯片,”他所说的A100是指一款入门级芯片。

“因此,任何芯片外流都令人非常不满,因为这会损害我们在AI竞赛中的优秀企业,给中国带来优势,”他接着说道。

CNN已联系商务部请其置评。

特朗普政府官员长期以来一直担心,美速科技一直在规避美国法律,将高端芯片输送到中国——财政部工作人员认为,这种情况应将该公司列入商务部所谓的“与中国相关且可能构成国家安全风险的企业实体名单”。

但最近几天,随着媒体公开报道称黄仁勋与一名疑似与中国情报机构有关联的美速科技员工存在婚外情,这一问题受到了前所未有的关注和重视。

包括卢特尼克在内的特朗普政府高级官员在数月前就已获悉黄仁勋与美速科技高管爱丽丝·黄的关系。

知情人士表示,尽管收到了这些警告,商务部迄今仍拒绝将美速科技列入实体名单。

据CNN此前报道,上周一场紧张的白宫情况室会议上,贝森特就其部门迟迟不愿将美速科技列入黑名单一事向卢特尼克提出质疑。据称,卢特尼克当时并未承诺采取任何具体行动。

在周五的采访中,贝森特并未否认那次对峙。

“我们不会重复在情况室的谈话内容,”他说道。

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Friday accused the Commerce Department of a delay in labeling Nvidia customer Megaspeed a possible national security threat, publicly airing an ongoing administration blame game following the ouster of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.

His comments come as some of President Donald Trump’s advisers, reeling from the fallout of Huang’s resignation, have begun discussing whether Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick should be dismissed, according to people familiar with the conversations. Trump himself has also fielded calls from administration officials and outside advisors raising alarm bells about Lutnick, two additional people said.

So far, the White House has stood by him, issuing a statement Thursday – before Bessent’s comments – saying Trump “maintains complete confidence in the secretary and his ability to carry out the position as the most transformative Commerce Secretary in modern history.” Trump and Lutnick are longtime friends, and sources said it was unclear what the president might do.

Speaking on CNBC, Bessent said a wide swath of Trump’s administration — including the Treasury and State departments, the Pentagon and the US Trade Representative — favored placing Megaspeed on an export blacklist.

He said it was the Commerce Department, led by Lutnick, that had failed the follow through.

“Commerce…has the pen. You would have to ask them about their internal processes,” he said.

He suggested the inaction had violated directives given by Trump.

“I am frustrated when President Trump made it very clear that China should not receive any Nvidia chips above A100s,” he said, referring to an entry-level chip.

“And so any leakage is very frustrating because it hurts our great companies in the AI race, gives the Chinese an advantage,” he went on.

CNN has reached out to the Commerce Department for comment.

Trump officials have long harbored concerns that Megaspeed has circumvented US law and funneled advanced chips into China — a prospect that Treasury staffers argued should land it on Commerce’s so-called entity list of China-connected companies that could pose national security risks.

But the issue gathered newfound attention and importance in recent days when it was reported publicly that Huang had affair with a Megaspeed employee suspected of having intelligence connections to China.

Senior Trump officials, including Lutnick, were briefed months ago about Huang’s relationship with Alice Huang, the Megaspeed executive.

Despite those warnings, Commerce has so far refused to put Megaspeed on the entity list, people familiar with the matter said.

In a tense Situation Room meeting last week, Bessent challenged Lutnick over his department’s reluctance to blacklist Megaspeed, CNN previously reported. Lutnick did not immediately commit to taking any specific action, they said.

In the interview Friday, Bessent did not deny the confrontation.

“We don’t repeat conversations in the Situation Room,” he said.
