Nvidia manufactures essential chips for AI developers, placing the firm at the center of international discussions on the technology.\n\nThe U.S. and China represent the two primary global forces driving the development and international adoption of advanced AI tools.\n\nState dinners are among the highest diplomatic honors a U.S. president can bestow upon a foreign leader, usually reserved for heads of allied nations. Hosting such an event for Xi is noteworthy, as Trump frequently characterizes China as a rival nation.\n\nWhen Trump visited China in May, Xi hosted a state dinner for him that Huang also attended, along with SpaceX CEO and former Trump adviser Elon Musk and Apple CEO Tim Cook.\n\nTrump has hosted one state dinner since his second term began, held for Britain's King Charles and Queen Camilla.\n\nTrump's press team did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding Huang's inclusion on the dinner guest list.\n\n## Join our commenting forum\n\nJoin thought-provoking conversations, follow other Independent readers and see their replies\n\n[Comments](#comments-area)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-powerhouse-boss-to-join-trump-and-xi-at-white-house-as-fears-over-technology", "canonical_source": "https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/jensen-huang-trump-xi-dinner-b3051076.html", "published_at": "2026-09-16 09:35:02+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-16 09:43:01.721502+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-chips", "ai-policy"], "entities": ["Nvidia", "Jensen Huang", "Donald Trump", "Xi Jinping", "SpaceX", "Elon Musk", "Apple", "Tim Cook"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-powerhouse-boss-to-join-trump-and-xi-at-white-house-as-fears-over-technology", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-powerhouse-boss-to-join-trump-and-xi-at-white-house-as-fears-over-technology.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-powerhouse-boss-to-join-trump-and-xi-at-white-house-as-fears-over-technology.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-powerhouse-boss-to-join-trump-and-xi-at-white-house-as-fears-over-technology.jsonld"}}
