The president wasn&#8217;t mentioned on the company&#8217;s last earnings call in February. Huang joined Trump for his summit in Beijing with Chinese President Xi Jinping.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"group\">\n<p>Huang&#8217;s presence on the trip came as the status of Nvidia&#8217;s H200 chip sales in China remains uncertain. <\/p>\n<p>Trump told reporters last week that the chip model didn&#8217;t come up in discussions with China, but Reuters reported that the U.S. government gave approval to several Chinese firms to purchase the model. China, though, hasn&#8217;t allowed firms to purchase the chip, Trump claimed to reporters. <\/p>\n<p>In January, Trump cleared the way for Chinese purchases of the chip model. That came with a 25% tariff on imports for chips that will be sent to China. There&#8217;s a 57% chance the company mentions tariffs on its call on Wednesday. <\/p>\n<p>But after the trip to China, traders place just an 11% chance that Nvidia mentions Taiwan. After the U.S.-China summit, neither country revealed if Trump or Xi discussed Taiwan, which is home to critical chip manufacturers. Traders now only place 15% odds that the company discusses <span class=\"QuoteInBody-quoteNameContainer\" data-test=\"QuoteInBody\" id=\"RegularArticle-QuoteInBody-6\">Taiwan Semiconductor Company<span class=\"QuoteInBody-inlineButton\"><span class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-watchlistContainer\" id=\"-WatchlistDropdown\" data-analytics-id=\"-WatchlistDropdown\"><button class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-watchlistButton\" aria-label=\"Add To Watchlist\" data-testid=\"dropdown-btn\"><span class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-addWatchListFromTag\"\/><\/button><\/span><\/span><\/span>, down from previously a 78% chance.<\/p>\n<p>And there&#8217;s a 55% chance the company will discuss humanoid robots. In his keynote address at the CES Trade Show in January, Huang said he expects to see robots with some human-level capabilities this year.\u00a0This would be a new feature of the Nvidia calls as that topic didn&#8217;t come up in the company&#8217;s February earnings call. <\/p>\n<p><em>Disclosure: CNBC and Kalshi have a commercial relationship that includes a CNBC minority investment.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ArticleBody-googlePreferredSourceContainer\" data-module=\"GooglePreferredSource\" data-id=\"RegularArticle-GooglePreferredSource-5\">Choose CNBC as your preferred source on Google and never miss a moment from the most trusted name in business news.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A netizen is using a computer and smartphone to view the NVIDIA logo and webpage in Suqian City, Jiangsu Province, China on April 29, 2026.
