CEO Jensen Huang told CNBC’s Jim Cramer that the company’s new partnership with Corning represents an important opportunity to rebuild critical parts of the technology supply chain in the United States.

“We’re going through the single largest infrastructure buildout in human history,” Huang said “Mad Money” on Wednesday. “Artificial intelligence is going to become fundamental infrastructure all over the world, and surely here in the United States.”

His comments came one day after Nvidia announced a major partnership with Corning to dramatically expand domestic optical connectivity manufacturing capacity. As part of the deal, Corning is building three new facilities in Texas and North Carolina, saying it will create more than 3,000 jobs.
