Jensen Huang Meets Trump Ahead of Semiconductor Tariff Imposition
Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, met with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on the 6th (local time), according to a report by Bloomberg on the same day.
This meeting took place as President Trump had announced plans to impose high tariffs on imported semiconductors. However, it was not disclosed what specific topics were discussed during the meeting.
President Trump has previously announced plans to impose itemized tariffs on semiconductors and pharmaceuticals. He emphasized, "We want those things (such as semiconductors) to be manufactured in the United States."
Bloomberg reported that CEO Huang has been lobbying President Trump to exclude Nvidia's products from the list of goods subject to tariffs. Since Nvidia produces most of its artificial intelligence (AI) chips in Taiwan, tariffs on semiconductors imported into the United States could have a significant impact on the company.
