Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to Attend Summit at Trump's Invitation

Jensen is attending the summit at the invitation of President Trump to support America and the administration’s goals,” an Nvidia representative told the South China Morning Post in an email. Seventeen American CEOs were on a list of invited business delegates released by the White House on Monday – a smaller group than Trump’s previous China trip in 2017, when 27 high-profile executives joined. Huang was not included on Monday’s list, which fuelled speculation Washington had limited appetite for rolling back some of its tech export controls. In an interview last week, he said he would have joined the trip “if invited”. Laila Khawaja, research director at Gavekal Technologies, said Huang’s last-minute inclusion was more reflective of the chip giant CEO’s “lobbying efforts” than a shift in Washington’s agenda for the summit.
