Nvidia's CEO Invited to Trump-Xi State Dinner Amid Chip War Tensions
Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang is set to attend a state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping on September 24, according to CNBC. The event marks a significant moment in the ongoing US-China chip war tensions.
Huang's presence at the dinner comes as AI and semiconductors remain central to the U.S.-China relationship. Nvidia supplies chips widely used to develop and run AI systems, making it a major player in this technology competition between Washington and Beijing.
The White House confirmed that President Trump invited several prominent US business leaders to the dinner, with a focus on deals that benefit the US. This development follows reports of limited shipments of Nvidia's powerful H200 AI chips being approved for mainland China earlier this month.
