Nvidia Corp.’s Jensen Huang, the CEO at the center of the artificial intelligence boom, said he’s ready to meet US President-elect Donald Trump and offer his help to the coming administration.
“I’d be delighted to go see him and congratulate him, and do whatever we can to make this administration succeed,” Huang said in an interview with Bloomberg Television. He hasn’t been invited to visit Trump’s home base at Mar-a-Lago in Florida yet, the chief executive officer said.
As head of the world’s most valuable chipmaker, Huang has an opportunity to help steer the administration’s AI policy at a moment of rapid change. Nvidia is looking to speed the deployment of advanced AI systems around the world — much of which depend on its industry-leading chips.
Trump has said that he will impose trade tariffs that may affect companies like Nvidia, which rely heavily on overseas sales and outsourced manufacturing. Nvidia already faces restrictions that prohibit some of its most capable — and lucrative — chips from being exported to China, the biggest market for semiconductors.

“We will give them as much insight as we can from our perspective,” he said. “I am sure the administration will make the right moves.”
The remarks follow a wide-ranging product unveiling Monday that included new chips, software and services. Nvidia is looking to maintain its edge in AI computing after explosive growth over the past two years.
The Santa Clara, California-based company has said that AI will fuel a new industrial revolution, and Huang envisions a world with a billion humanoid robots, 10 million automated factories and 1.5 billion self-driving vehicles.
The outlook initially helped send Nvidia shares to a record high on Tuesday, though they retreated later in the session. The stock soared 171% last year after more than tripling in 2023.
