Nvidia CEO Invited to Trump's State Dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is set to attend President Donald Trump's state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to a source familiar with the matter. The dinner is scheduled to take place on September 24 in Washington.

This comes amid growing public alarm about the potential danger posed by AI, which Nvidia supplies chips for. The U.S. and China are the two major forces driving development of advanced AI tools and their global adoption.

State dinners are among the highest diplomatic honors a U.S. president can bestow on a foreign leader and are typically reserved for heads of allied nations. Trump has hosted only one state dinner since his second term began, which was for Britain's King Charles and Queen Camilla.
