Nvidia CEO to meet Trump at White House

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump at The White House on Thursday, just before a planned trip to China, according to a source familiar with the matter.

The meeting comes as Nvidia’s market value surpassed $4 trillion for the first time, reinforcing its position as a dominant force in the tech sector.

The agenda of the meeting has not been disclosed, and neither The White House nor Nvidia responded to requests for comment.

Huang is scheduled to visit China a day after The White House meeting. He has previously expressed concerns over U.S. export restrictions that blocked Nvidia from selling its H20 chip to China — a move that led to an estimated $2.5 billion loss in first-quarter sales, and Nvidia expects a sales hit of $8 billion in the second quarter.

Last month, Huang said Nvidia would no longer include China in its revenue and profit forecasts due to ongoing trade restrictions.
