Trump called Nvidia's Jensen Huang to join China summit at last minute, report

Trump reportedly added Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to a China summit trip at the last minute, after Huang was not on the original delegation list.

Nvidia said Huang was attending at Trump’s invitation, while Trump linked the visit to efforts to persuade Xi Jinping to open China further to U.S. tech firms.

The move underscores how U.S.-China trade, AI chip exports, and semiconductor policy are being negotiated at the highest political level.

It also comes as Nvidia seeks relief on export restrictions for its H200 AI chips and China pushes domestic alternatives.
