The chief executive of semiconductor giant Nvidia will reportedly accompany President Donald Trump during his scheduled trip to China this week, according to two sources with knowledge of the plans who spoke to Reuters Wednesday.
Jensen Huang’s name was not included on the original roster of business executives that the White House released earlier this week for the presidential delegation. The group is expected to include more than a dozen American CEOs making the journey alongside Trump.
Nvidia has encountered obstacles in the Chinese marketplace, particularly with its advanced H200 semiconductor products, which have yet to reach Chinese customers. A U.S. government official indicated last month that the company has struggled to obtain necessary approvals from Chinese authorities for these sales.
White House officials did not provide a response when contacted for comment about Huang’s participation in the delegation.
