Nvidia CEO Seeks Better U.S.-China Ties as AI Chip Curbs Weigh on NVDA

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said May 14, 2026, he hopes U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will use talks in Beijing to improve bilateral relations, according to Chinese state broadcaster CCTV. Huang joined Trump’s state visit to China shortly before the trip, as Nvidia seeks to preserve access to the world’s second-largest economy. The U.S. chipmaker remains unable to ship its H200 chips to Chinese customers seeking hardware for artificial intelligence development. The comments underscore Nvidia’s exposure to U.S.-China technology restrictions, which have limited sales of advanced AI semiconductors to Chinese buyers and created uncertainty for demand in a key market.
