WASHINGTON, D.C. — Dec 3 (GeokHub) U.S. President Donald Trump met with Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang on Wednesday to discuss export controls on AI chips — a key issue amid global competition for artificial-intelligence dominance. The private meeting comes as regulators and industry leaders weigh how export rules might affect the U.S.’s leadership in advanced technology.
Huang, who was already in the capital meeting lawmakers about the same issue, has warned that a patchwork of state-by-state regulations could slow the country’s AI progress. During a separate public appearance, he emphasized that while national security concerns are real, overly restrictive export policies risk stifling innovation.
From the administration’s perspective, the meeting signals a balancing act — between maintaining U.S. leadership in AI and preventing sensitive technologies from boosting the capabilities of rival nations. For Nvidia, the talks could shape whether the company can continue supplying its powerful chips globally or face tighter restrictions.
The outcome could influence the broader AI industry — potentially affecting pricing, supply chains, and which countries get access to cutting-edge hardware. As governments worldwide update export-control policies, Nvidia’s strategy and adaptability may determine how quickly — and widely — the next generation of AI tools spreads.
