nvidia ceo Jensen Huang: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s stark warning for US on AI: ‘China has made it clear, they don’t want…’
Last week, Trump said the most advanced Nvidia (NVDA) chips would be reserved for US companies and kept away from China and other countries. “We will not allow anyone outside the United States to buy the most advanced ones,” Trump said.
According to the statement, China will suspend additional export controls on rare earth metals and end investigations into US chip companies. Meanwhile, the US will pause some of Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” on China for another year and will also halt plans to impose 100% tariffs on Chinese exports to the US, which were set to take effect this month.

Big warning from Nvidia’s CEO about artificial intelligence
“They’ve made it very clear that they don’t want Nvidia there right now,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said at the press conference, explaining that the company hasn’t even applied for U.S. export licenses for its latest chips due to Beijing’s hostile attitude. Speaking at the GTC conference, Huang called China “a very important market” and said he hoped the situation would change. He also warned that US policies isolating Chinese developers could further harm America in the long run and undermine Nvidia’s role in the global AI infrastructure.
Nvidia’s CEO has repeatedly expressed concerns about Nvidia’s shrinking market share in China. The company has been banned from selling its high-performance AI chips, including the A100, H100 and H200 models, to Chinese firms since 2022, the company said at a Citadel Securities event in New York earlier this month. As a result, Nvidia’s share of China’s advanced chip market fell from 95% to zero.
But despite these challenges, the chipmaking giant reported $500 billion in bookings for advanced chips and announced seven new supercomputers for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The largest system, built with Oracle and powered by 100,000 Blackwell chips, will support nuclear maintenance, fusion energy research and other national projects.ALSO READ: JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon warns Steve Jobs to ‘warn’ employees about ‘working from home’ and says ‘creativity comes from…’
Nvidia CEO praised Trump
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang embraces President Trump as the chipmaker tries to balance complex geopolitical tensions while maintaining its dominant role in the artificial intelligence world. Huang developed a strong relationship with the president in the first nine months of the administration, according to The Hill, which has been key to navigating the on-again, off-again trade war between the United States and China. “Who is he? What’s his name?” Trump said he described when he first learned about Huang in July. “His name is Jensen Huang from Nvidia. ‘What the hell is Nvidia?’ I said.”
Nvidia, which emerged as a chip maker for video games, has exploded in profile and market value over the past few years as its chips have become an integral part of the AI boom.
Jensen Huang praised Trump and credited his “America First” policies for revitalizing US manufacturing. He noted that Nvidia’s chips are now manufactured by TSMC in Arizona, servers are assembled in Texas, and networking hardware is manufactured in California. “Putting the weight of the nation behind pro-energy growth has completely changed the game,” Huang said.

The pair have exchanged compliments publicly in recent months, with the president praising the Nvidia chief as a “smart guy” and Huang calling Trump “America’s unique advantage.” “Nobody works harder. Nobody,” Huang said of Trump in a question-and-answer session with reporters on Tuesday. “One hundred percent of the calls he makes to me are at 10:30 at night, not my time, his time. And this president is working like crazy to help America be great and to help America win.”
Nvidia’s CEO has spoken openly about his relationship with the US administration, saying it’s important for industry leaders to guide policymakers in Washington because technology now plays an important role in politics and global affairs.
“This is a completely new adventure for me, but I’m coming with one purpose, and that is to inform and serve the president who is thinking about how to make America great and how to do the best thing for America,” Huang said. he said.
