Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to Meet Former President Trump Ahead of China Visit

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is scheduled to meet former U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday, a day before Huang’s planned trip to China, according to a source familiar with the matter. The meeting takes place as Nvidia’s market valuation recently surpassed $4 trillion for the first time, underscoring the company’s position as one of Wall Street’s most valuable stocks.

Specific details about the agenda of the discussions have not been disclosed. Bloomberg was the first to report the meeting, while neither Nvidia nor the White House immediately responded to Reuters’ requests for comment.

Huang has previously criticized the export restrictions imposed by the Trump administration in April, which halted Nvidia’s ability to sell its H20 AI chip to China—a product Huang described as a “springboard to global success.” These U.S. export curbs resulted in a $2.5 billion loss in sales for Nvidia in the first quarter, with the company forecasting an $8 billion revenue impact in the second quarter.

Due to these stringent trade restrictions, Huang announced in June that Nvidia would exclude China from its revenue and profit projections going forward.
