After Tesla boss Elon Musk and Apple CEO Tim Cook fell out of favour with US President Donald Trump, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has emerged as a key player in easing tensions between the United States and China amid ongoing trade war and geopolitical tensions.

Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang has been active on the government relations and lobbying front, and now he’s got something big to show for his efforts: the Trump Administration has agreed to lift a ban on selling Nvidia H20 AI chips to China.

Nvidia is looking to ship more advanced chips to China than its current generation, CEO Jensen Huang said on Wednesday, as he looks to revitalize sales in the world's second-largest economy.

How an engineer turned tech mogul became the most influential voice in AI and a key figure in Trump’s trade diplomacy with China.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang delivered a rare Mandarin-language keynote at the China International Supply Chain Expo on July 16, appearing in traditional Chinese attire. His presence underscored Nvidia's growing engagement with China's fast-evolving AI landscape.

At the Beijing Expo, Jensen Huang also announced plans for a new chip for Chinese clients that is designed for robotics and smart factories.

Huang is now richer than LVMH’s Bernard Arnault ($147.9 billion) and just behind Google co-founder Larry Page ($150.6 billion).
