NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang skips Trump inauguration for Lunar New Year celebrations

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang will miss President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20, marking the first time he has skipped such an event. He is currently in East Asia for the Lunar New Year, while other tech leaders plan to attend. Huang has expressed a willingness to collaborate with the new administration, despite not receiving an invitation to meet Trump. He previously welcomed the idea of fewer regulations under Trump, which he believes could benefit innovation. Currently, NVIDIA faces new regulations from the Biden administration, particularly concerning AI chip technology and export controls aimed at limiting China's access. Company representatives have criticized these rules as an "overreach" that could harm the tech industry and U.S. competitiveness.
