Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says he has not yet met President-elect Donald Trump after his victory in the presidential election in November.
Huang gave an interview to Bloomberg’s Ed Ludlow on Tuesday when he was asked if he had been invited to visit Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Palm Beach resort.
“Not yet, but I would like to visit him and congratulate him and do whatever we can to help this administration succeed,” Huang told Ludlow.
A spokesperson for Nvidia declined to comment on Huang’s comments.
Trump’s transition team did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
In November, Trump said he plans to impose an additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods entering the US. He said earlier in February that he would impose tariffs of more than 60% on China.
Huang told investors during Nvidia’s earnings call in November that the chip giant will “fully comply with any regulations that arise.”
China is a key market for Nvidia, accounting for almost 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 the president-elect.
Trump has received a warm welcome 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 Saturday, citing people involved in the fundraising.
At least $150 million of the money will go to Trump’s upcoming inauguration, far more than 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 the future presidential library .
“One of the big differences between the first term, during the first term, everyone was fighting me. In this term, everyone wants to be my friend,” Trump said at a press conference last month.
“I don’t know, my personality changed or something,” Trump added.
