Watch Jensen Huang speech at Nvidia GTC keynote
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will deliver a keynote speech from Washington at 12 p.m. ET Tuesday for the company’s second GTC conference this year.
Although the event is typically held in San Jose, California, Huang said during the keynote pregame that the conference was moved to the capital so that President Donald Trump could attend. Trump, however, was unable to attend due to his five-day Asian tour to Malaysia, Japan and South Korea.
Trump is expected to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping to possibly calm trade tensions between the U.S. and China. Huang’s address will potentially provide some clarity for investors on the chipmaker’s role in the artificial intelligence race between the two countries.
The Trump administration allowed Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices computing chips to be sold to China under the agreement that the two would share 15% of their revenue to the U.S. government. However, in September, Beijing prohibited major Chinese tech companies from purchasing AI chips from Nvidia.
