  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump arrived in Beijing for a two-day summit with a business delegation that included Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who received a last-minute invitation to join the trip.

  • Nvidia's advanced artificial intelligence chips remain central to technological tensions between America and China, with Huang serving on the Council of Advisors on Science and Technology alongside other business leaders.
  • The president plans to ask China to "open up" to America businesses while seeking Beijing's help facilitating a deal between Washington and Tehran to end the Iran war during the two-day talks.
  • Economic pressures from the Iran war have fueled inflation at home, threatening the Republican Party's control of the White House ahead of November's midterm elections, weakening Trump's negotiating position.
