Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang joined President Trump’s U.S.-China summit delegation in Beijing after a personal invitation. Huang’s late addition highlights the critical role of technology and its supply chains in U.S.-China trade discussions. The summit focuses on opening China’s market to American businesses, with technology leaders like Huang, Elon Musk, and Tim Cook present to leverage private sector expertise. Huang expressed optimism about the summit’s potential for constructive dialogue and a stronger bilateral partnership.

The U.S. has reportedly halted progress on a technology trade deal with the UK, citing frustration with the slow pace of negotiations.
