Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Takes Public Call From Trump, Draws Attention For Phone Used
A report from TechCrunch says onlookers noticed the device Nvidia's chief executive used to answer the call as much as the call itself.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang took a live phone call from President Trump during a public appearance, according to a report published by TechCrunch on September 14, 2026.
The outlet said that while the call itself drew attention, some observers were equally focused on the phone Huang used to take it, though the report did not specify the make or model of the device.
TechCrunch did not provide additional detail in the excerpt about the setting of the call, its exact date, or the substance of the conversation between Huang and Trump.
Nvidia has become one of the most closely watched companies in the technology sector amid rapid growth in demand for artificial intelligence chips, and Huang has increasingly appeared at high-profile public events. TechCrunch's report frames the incident as notable both for the direct contact between Huang and Trump and for the accessory that caught the attention of those watching.
Neither Nvidia nor representatives for Trump were quoted in the available excerpt of the report, and further details of the exchange were not immediately available.
