US President Donald Trump is taking a dozen technology leaders to China, including Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang — a last-minute addition who boarded Air Force One, according to media reports
Huang was not on the list of CEOs invited to attend the summit between Trump and China’s President Xi Jinping that was circulated on Monday.
An Nvidia spokesperson told Euronews Next: "Jensen is attending the summit at the invitation of President Trump to support America and the administration's goals.”
In a social media post, Trump said Huang was on board Air Force One and denied that the Nvidia boss was now invited, as reported by some media outlets.
But Trump asked Huang at the last minute to join the trip, Reuters reported, citing a source familiar with the matter. Meanwhile, CNBC reported that after seeing the media coverage of Huang’s absence from the delegation, Trump called the Nvidia executive, according to a source.
