<p>President Donald Trump called Nvidia’s Jensen Huang and offered him a last-minute invite on his trip to China, a source familiar with the matter told the Daily Wire.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hours after the call, Huang met the president in Alaska and boarded Air Force One. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Nvidia spokesperson said, “Jensen is attending the summit at the invitation of President Trump to support America and the administration&#8217;s goals.” Last week, Huang told</span> CNBC host Jim Cramer, <span style="font-weight: 400;">“If invited, it would be a privilege, it would be a great honor to represent the United States.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Huang is one of several CEOs to join the trip. Seventeen top executives were <a href="https://x.com/mmcassella/status/2053868662562390065">reportedly</a> invited, with Cisco’s Chuck Robbins turning down the invite due to a conflict with the company’s quarterly earnings report.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">CNBC initially <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/12/nvidia-ceo-huang-trump-china-trip-chip-sales.html">reported</a> on Tuesday that Huang was not invited to the trip. A source familiar with the matter confirmed to the Daily Wire that the executive was not invited until later. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, President Trump called out the network via <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116565066757116256">Truth Social</a> Tuesday night. “CNBC incorrectly reported that the great Jensen Huang, of Nvidia, was not invited to the incredible gathering of the world’s greatest businessmen/women proudly going to China,” the president wrote. “In actuality, Huang is currently on Air Force One and, unless I ask him to leave, which is highly unlikely, CNBC’s reporting is incorrect or, as they say in politics, fake news.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trump says he will be asking President Xi to “open up China so that these brilliant people [CEOs traveling with Trump] can work their magic.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the past, Huang has lobbied the Trump administration to allow Nvidia to sell chips to China. While Nvidia is not permitted to sell its Blackwell chips, the company’s most advanced chips, Trump loosened export controls to allow for sales of Nvidia’s H200s. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Critics of an anti-open stance toward China argue that such a policy will incentivize the country to build competing AI processors. Skeptics argue American AI chips could help China’s military to weaponize software against the United States. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is unclear how much control over exports will be the focus of President Trump’s summit with Xi. On the docket for the trip, conversations surrounding tariffs, trade practices, and China’s relationship with Iran appear to take precedence.  </span></p>
