Summary
On Monday, news broke that outgoing Apple CEO, Tim Cook, as well as SpaceX and Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, would join the US president. Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s CEO, who is close to Trump but criticized the US’s limitations on chip sales to China in an April interview, saying that he didn’t want a “loser mentality” to cost the US its edge in AI, will not be joining the president. In Cook, Trump likely also wants to bring a friendly, familiar face to high-stakes negotiations. Whether Trump’s trip will foster a flurry of tech deals, as his Middle East visit did in May 2025, will have to be seen.
