NVIDIA CEO, Jensen Huang, is now confirmed to accompany President Trump on his China visit along with Elon Musk, Tim Cook & other tech execs.
US President Trump's High-Profile China Visit Can't Be Complete Without The Country's Leading Tech CEOs, & That's Exactly Why NVIDIA's CEO, Jensen Huang, Has Boarded Air Force One
US President Donald J Trump will visit China this week from 13th May to May 15th May. During this visit, Trump will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping. All eyes will be on this visit as it will mark the first time in nearly a decade that a US President will land in China and meet his counterpart.
During the visit, President Trump will be accompanied by some big names and executives from major firms, mainly in the technology industry. Earlier, it was reported that NVIDIA's CEO wouldn't be joining US President Trump on his visit to China, but as per Emily Goodin (White House correspondent with New York Post), Jensen Huang is confirmed to have boarded Air Force One and is on his way to China along with the rest of the tech titans.
In the images shared by Emily, we can see Jensen joining Air Force One as it took a stopover in Alaska for refueling. Jensen can be seen wearing his iconic leather jacket and a backpack.
The roster includes Elon Musk (X, xAI, SpaceX, Tesla), Tim Cook (Apple), executives from Qualcomm, Citigroup, Boeing, Goldman Sachs, Blackstone, BlackRock, Micron, and Meta.
While the full details of the meetings are kept secret, likely that trade in the field of technology, especially AI, and tariffs will be a major part of the discussions. With the lineup that is visiting China, the US President will likely sign various business deals, while executives from each firm are expected to sign a similar set of deals with major Chinese firms that will be present during the visits.
NVIDIA has adopted a US-first policy, and currently has zero official share in China's AI domain. NVIDIA is also investing big in made-in-US initiative with the company likely signing a deal with Intel to build its next-gen Feynman GPUs in the US & also prioritizing its Rubin and Blackwell GPUs for US-based AI enterprises and datacenters.
For a while now, the United States Government has been easing down tariffs and trade restrictions on China. The US was very aggressive in its approach for the majority of last year as it went into a trade war & tariff-frenzy across the entire globe, but has since taken a lighter turn. So we can see the resumption of talks between the US and China in the technology department, but each country still has its own reservations and will likely take a step-by-step approach rather than announcing some big deals right away.
