Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was not invited to join President Trump's delegation of business executives on a China trip, a notable absence given Nvidia's central role in the US-China semiconductor and AI export dispute.
Huang has been one of the most vocal tech CEOs on the damage US chip export restrictions have caused Nvidia's China business — the company has lost access to its highest-end GPU lines in the market and has seen Chinese customers pivot toward domestic alternatives. Being excluded from a high-profile diplomatic business trip signals that Nvidia's position in the US-China tech standoff remains politically complicated, even as other executives secure a seat at the table.
