US President Donald Trump travels to Beijing for a summit with China’s Xi Jinping and brings a business delegation intended to support deals for US companies. Multiple outlets report that Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s CEO, is not on an originally circulated list of CEOs invited to attend the summit, and that he was excluded from earlier plans for the trip. However, other reports say the situation changes last minute, with Huang eventually joining Trump’s aircraft after being picked up in Alaska on the way to Beijing. Bloomberg and The New York Times describe Huang as a last-minute addition who boards Air Force One with other executives and leaders, while CNBC reports he is not part of the trip despite the presence of more than a dozen other US executives. Separate coverage also notes Huang’s recent visit to Beijing earlier in the year, during which he reiterates Nvidia’s long-term commitment to the Chinese market while responding to the impact of US export controls on certain AI chip exports. The overall reporting links the CEO delegation to US-China trade talks and to Nvidia’s efforts to sell high-end AI chips in China under evolving regulatory constraints.
