- Jensen Huang says he would be “delighted” to meet with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
- The Nvidia CEO said he has yet to receive an invitation.
- Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos have visited Trump at his Palm Beach resort.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says he has yet to meet with President-elect Donald Trump following the latter’s victory in November’s presidential election.
Huang was giving an interview to Bloomberg’s Ed Ludlow on Tuesday when he was asked if he’d been invited to visit Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Palm Beach resort.
“Not yet but I would be delighted to go see him and congratulate him and do everything we can to help this administration succeed,” Huang told Ludlow.
A Nvidia spokesperson declined to comment on Huang’s remarks.
The Trump transition team did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
In November, Trump said he plans to impose an additional 10% import tariff on Chinese goods entering the US. He previously said in February that he would introduce tariffs of more than 60% on China.
Huang told investors at Nvidia’s earnings call in November that the chip giant will “comply with any regulation that comes along fully.”
China is an important market for Nvidia, making up nearly 17% of the company’s total revenue in the year to the end of January 2024.
Several tech billionaires, ranging from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, have already made trips to Mar-a-Lago to meet with the president-elect.
Trump has enjoyed a warm reception from business leaders as he prepares to take office for the second time.
The president-elect has raised at least $200 million in donations since winning the election, The New York Times reported on Saturday, citing people involved with the fundraising.
At least $150 million of the funds will go toward Trump’s upcoming inauguration, far outpacing the $106.8 million he received for his first inauguration in 2017. The rest of the donations will help fund Trump’s political activities and future presidential library.
“One of the big differences between the first term, in the first term, everybody was fighting me. In this term, everybody wants to be my friend,” Trump said at a news conference last month.
“I don’t know, my personality changed or something,” Trump added.
