President Trump has confirmed that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is aboard Air Force One en route to China, joining Elon Musk, Apple's Tim Cook, BlackRock's Larry Fink, and a cohort of other top US executives. The delegation signals that the trip is as much a business mission as a diplomatic one.
Trump said his opening request to President Xi will be to "open up" China — a direct ask for greater market access for American companies. For Nvidia in particular, the stakes are high: export controls have blocked its most advanced AI chips from the Chinese market, and any softening of that stance would be a significant revenue unlock.
The composition of the delegation — semiconductors, EVs, finance, and consumer tech all represented — suggests the White House is framing this summit as a broad economic reset, not a narrow security conversation.
