Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang has said he would be willing to join US President Donald Trump on his upcoming visit to China if invited, signalling continued engagement between major American technology leaders and the White House amid rising geopolitical and trade tensions. Huang made the remarks during an interview with CNBC, stating that it would be an "honour" to represent the United States during the high-profile diplomatic visit.
Trump is expected to travel to China on May 14 and 15 for meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping as both countries continue discussions on trade, technology, and broader geopolitical issues. Reports suggest the White House is considering including several leading American business executives in the delegation, although Huang indicated he has not yet received a formal invitation to participate in the summit.
The Nvidia chief’s possible involvement is drawing attention because of his close ties with the Trump administration and his vocal stance on US-China technology cooperation. Over the past year, Huang has repeatedly urged Washington to ease restrictions on the export of advanced artificial intelligence chips to China, arguing that engagement with the Chinese market remains strategically important for the American technology industry.

US export controls introduced on national security grounds have restricted Nvidia from selling some of its most advanced AI processors to Chinese companies. However, the company has continued to seek alternative pathways to maintain its presence in the Chinese market. In recent months, Huang has publicly advocated for balancing competition with cooperation between the two global powers, particularly in the field of artificial intelligence research and development.
The upcoming Trump-Xi meeting is expected to take place against the backdrop of heightened global uncertainty, including tensions in the Middle East and ongoing debates over technology supply chains. Several business leaders, including Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman and Citigroup chief Jane Fraser, are reportedly planning to attend the summit alongside the US delegation, reflecting the economic significance of the discussions.
Huang has remained an influential voice in global technology policy debates as Nvidia continues to dominate the AI chip market worldwide. Last year, the Trump administration allowed the company to resume shipments of certain AI chips, including the H200 processor, to Chinese customers under revised export conditions. The China trip, if Huang joins, could further underline Nvidia’s central role in the evolving relationship between Washington and Beijing amid growing competition in artificial intelligence and semiconductor technology.
