Nvidia Corp CEO Jensen Huang is expected to attend a state dinner hosted by U.S. President Donald Trump for Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington on September 24, according to reports citing CNBC and Reuters.
The appearance of a leading American artificial intelligence executive at a high-profile diplomatic function underscores the centrality of AI to the upcoming discussions between Washington and Beijing. The two leaders are preparing to address economic and technology issues, with AI expected on the agenda.
Nvidia, which trades on the NASDAQ under the symbol NVDA, remains a focal point of the broader U.S.-China technology competition. The company serves as a major supplier of chips to AI developers worldwide, while both nations are among the world's leading forces in advanced AI deployment.
Huang has maintained close ties with Trump, having traveled to China earlier this year as part of a select group of U.S. business leaders accompanying the president.
The planned September dinner mirrors a previous state dinner held in China during a U.S. presidential visit in May, when Xi hosted Trump and was joined by Huang, Elon Musk, and former Apple CEO Tim Cook.
The White House did not immediately comment on Huang's reported attendance, according to CNBC and Reuters.
