Invitation to be part of group including Elon Musk and Tim Cook highlights American AI and tech ambitions
The billionaire chief executive of the chipmaker Nvidia, Jensen Huang, has joined Donald Trump’s China delegation after a reported last-minute invitation, highlighting the US’s AI and tech ambitions.
Huang will join a roster of US bosses including the Tesla chief executive and X owner, Elon Musk, the Apple chief executive, Tim Cook, and Goldman Sachs’s David Solomon at Trump’s 36-hour meeting with the Chinese president, Xi Jinping.
Interesting that Jensen Huang got a last-minute invite—Nvidia’s chips are central to the AI race, so it makes sense Trump wanted him there alongside Musk and Cook.
So Trump brings the CEOs of Tesla, Apple, Nvidia, and Goldman Sachs to meet Xi? That’s basically a who’s-who of American tech and finance, all in one 36-hour trip.
Coalition governments force compromise but the public sees it as weakness. (30de9e)
I wonder if Huang’s presence means the US is serious about keeping AI chip leadership, or if this is just a photo op for Trump.
Goldman Sachs’s David Solomon seems out of place next to tech giants like Musk and Cook. Is this about finance or just political clout?
