U.S. President Donald Trump and the CEO of Nvidia Jensen Huang discussed DeepSeek - the Chinese company whose AI model's performance rocked the tech world - and tightening AI chip exports during their meeting at the White House on Friday,

President Donald Trump met Friday with Nvidia Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang at the White House as the US prepares tariffs on semiconductors, weighs the fate of a chip subsidy program and probes whether Chinese AI startup DeepSeek skirted export controls to obtain the company’s products.

Nvidia is touting the performance of DeepSeek’s open source AI models on its just-launched RTX 50-series GPUs, claiming that they can “run the DeepSeek family of distilled models faster than anything on the PC market.” But this announcement from Nvidia might be somewhat missing the point.

President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang at the White House on Friday, when they will discuss AI and chips as well as the industry's energy needs.

Trump says he had a 'good meeting' with Jensen Huang but still plans to tariff foreign-manufactured semiconductors. Tariffs on China and Mexico also go into effect tomorrow.

Jeffrey Emanuel says Wall Street banks that are bullish on Nvidia “have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about.”

Some gamers are already camping out during one of the coldest times in the year to get their hands on a $2,000 graphics card.

The meeting comes amid broad anxiety about the success of a Chinese artificial intelligence app called DeepSeek.

Export controls need to be tightened after revelations the Chinese company used Nvidia technology, the leaders of a congressional committee said.

President Donald Trump was slated to meet Friday with Nvidia Corp. Chief Executive Jensen Huang at the White House, with their get-together coming as the chip giant has faced questions due to the big splash made by Chinese artificial-intelligence startup DeepSeek.
