Despite expectations, Trump did not discuss Nvidia’s Blackwell chip with Xi

U.S. President Donald Trump may have teased that he could discuss Nvidia’s state-of-the-art artificial intelligence Blackwell chips with Chinese President Xi Jinping, but in the end, he said the topic did not come up.

After Thursday’s meeting in South Korea, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that semiconductors had been discussed and China was “going to be talking to Nvidia and others about taking chips,” but added: “We’re not talking about the Blackwell.”
