Trump plans to attend the APEC leaders’ summit in Shenzhen on Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 18-19, and is expected to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping.
A U.S. official said Nvidia’s leadership situation should not affect President Donald Trump’s planned Asia trip next week, as scrutiny of advanced chip sales to China continues.
Nvidia announced CEO Jensen Huang’s resignation on Nov. 12. Trump is scheduled to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) leaders’ summit in Shenzhen, China, on Nov. 18-19, where he is expected to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The Trump administration approved sales of Nvidia’s H200 artificial intelligence chips to China in December 2025. The arrangement includes a 25% fee on those sales paid to the U.S. government.
Hundreds of thousands of Nvidia AI chips are waiting in Hong Kong because of regulatory delays. Bipartisan calls in Congress for tighter chip export controls have intensified.
