Scoop: Nvidia's Jensen Huang meets Lutnick amid China scrutiny

Axios reports that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang met this week with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick as the Trump administration investigates potential violations in Nvidia's chip exports to China. Huang is in Washington meeting with lawmakers on both sides of Congress to discuss Nvidia's plans to produce five hundred billion dollars in American technology over the next four years and the company's role in advancing American AI leadership. The Commerce Department is currently investigating whether Nvidia violated export rules with its Blackwell chips, part of a broader administration effort to control advanced AI technology's reach into China. The Trump administration is expected to announce a new AI framework by August first, which would include early government access to the most advanced AI models before their public release—a significant step in how officials are weighing American dominance in AI alongside concerns about China.
