Trump Calls Nvidia CEO During Employee Meeting Hours Before Praising Company's Record Results
During an internal meeting at Nvidia’s headquarters on Thursday, President Donald Trump unexpectedly called CEO Jensen Huang. The call occurred as employees were gathered for an all-hands session and was briefly audible through the microphone before Huang stepped away to take it. Hours later, Trump publicly praised Nvidia's fiscal second-quarter results via Truth Social, calling them 'incredible.' The chipmaker reported revenue of $96.22 billion—up 106% year-over-year—and guided for third-quarter revenue between $105.84 billion and $110.16 billion. The event highlights Nvidia's growing influence in Washington, particularly as it expands its political engagement through plans to establish an employee-funded PAC. Huang has also been vocal on issues like U.S.-China semiconductor trade policies.
