The roster of business leaders invited to join President Donald Trump on his trip to China this week left off one notable, and surprising, name: Nvidia Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang.
While more than a dozen other top executives including Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook and Tesla Inc.’s Elon Musk made the cut for the business delegation, according to a White House official, Huang was not among those invited. A person familiar with the matter confirmed that Huang — whose company makes the world’s most sought-after AI chips — would not be accompanying the president on the China trip.
