Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang joined President Donald Trump’s delegation for a high-stakes trip to China this week.
Huang was a last-minute addition to the group of top U.S. executives. The White House initially excluded Huang from the attendee list released earlier this week.
President Trump personally invited Huang after media reports highlighted his absence. Observers spotted Huang boarding Air Force One during a stopover in Alaska.
The move underscores the semiconductor industry's role in U.S.-China trade and AI chip export controls.
