Jensen Huang said President Donald Trump personally asked him to join the U.S. delegation attending the high-profile summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing.
Huang’s participation drew attention after his name was initially missing from a White House list of executives attending the trip. According to CNBC, Trump later contacted the Nvidia chief directly and invited him to board Air Force One during a stop in Alaska.
