Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to Attend Trump's State Dinner for China's Xi, Source Says
According to a source cited by CNBC, Huang appeared to align with President Trump as the president dismissed warnings from tech executives about the pace of AI development.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is expected to attend a state dinner hosted by President Donald Trump for Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to a source cited by CNBC.
The report, published by CNBC on Sept. 15, 2026, said Huang appeared to side with Trump as the president pushed back on warnings from technology executives about the risks associated with rapid advancements in artificial intelligence.
CNBC's report did not provide further details on the specific remarks made by Trump or the tech CEOs referenced, nor did it specify additional attendees or the full agenda of the state dinner.
Nvidia, led by Huang, has become a central player in the global AI industry, supplying much of the computing hardware that powers advanced AI systems. The company's involvement in high-level diplomatic events underscores the growing intersection between the technology sector and international politics amid ongoing U.S.-China relations.
Neither the White House nor Nvidia has publicly commented on the report as of publication.
