US restricts Switzerland's access to AI chips

Since the article only mentioned 5 countries, the full list of the 18 countries with unlimited access to chips is: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, the Republic of Korea, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom [0]<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ecfr.gov&#x2F;current&#x2F;title-15&#x2F;subtitle-B&#x2F;chapter-VII&#x2F;subchapter-C&#x2F;part-740&#x2F;appendix-Supplement%20No.%205%20to%20Part%20740" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ecfr.gov&#x2F;current&#x2F;title-15&#x2F;subtitle-B&#x2F;chapter-VII...</a>

I half expect DeepSeek R1 to get banned in the US and allies countries otherwise allies wont get access to AI chips, etc.
