Trump once considered "splitting Nvidia" but found that Nvidia is really too strong, Jen-Hsun Huang responded with flattery.

US President Trump publicly stated that he had considered breaking up Nvidia to enhance the competitiveness of the AI chip market, but later realized that this was not an easy task. He has repeatedly praised Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang. (Background: Jen-Hsun Huang: Europe’s computing power will increase tenfold in two years! Nvidia is establishing AI technology centers in seven countries and will have 20 super factories.) (Additional context: Jen-Hsun Huang does not give up on the Chinese market and pushes the new Blackwell chip to break through US regulations.) On the 23rd, at an AI summit in Washington, US President Trump casually mentioned that he had considered splitting the global AI chip giant Nvidia to promote industry competition. He stated during the meeting, "I originally thought I could 'break up' this company through antitrust means, but after understanding the reality of the industry, I admitted: 'Even gathering the strongest talent, it would take more than ten years to catch up with Nvidia.'" The US Department of Justice launched an antitrust investigation into Nvidia in 2024, and Nvidia had stated that it would cooperate publicly; there have been no further developments, highlighting that its market dominance has drawn the attention of regulators. Jen-Hsun Huang responded with praise, flattering Trump. At the summit, Trump mentioned Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang multiple times in his speech, directly saying, "You are doing great," while also mentioning AMD CEO Lisa Su and Palantir, emphasizing the overall lead of the US in AI software, hardware, and defense applications. During the speech, Jen-Hsun Huang, sitting in the audience, also responded with a thumbs-up gesture, showing their interaction and affirmation. Earlier, when he took the stage to speak, Jen-Hsun Huang also gave a positive evaluation of Trump's AI policies. He stated: "The US has advantages that other countries cannot match, and that advantage is President Trump." Given how well Jen-Hsun Huang flattered him, the two should still maintain a good interactive relationship, and regulatory agencies are unlikely to take action against Nvidia in the short term. Policy promotion and industry status: The US AI action plan debuts. Additionally, Trump announced the "AI Action Plan" at the summit, signing multiple executive orders, emphasizing the need to reduce regulatory burdens, accelerate review processes, and relax environmental regulations to pave the way for AI supercomputers and related industry development. He stressed that the US needs new data centers and chip factories, "Chip companies do not need money; they need permissions." This seems to echo Nvidia's announcement last week that it had been reauthorized to sell H20 AI chips to mainland China.

The US Department of Commerce warns the world: "Do not use Huawei AI chips": stealing US technology and violating export controls will incur penalties. <Trump revealed he had considered 'breaking up Nvidia' but found Nvidia too strong; Jen-Hsun Huang responded with flattery.> This article was first published in BlockTempo, the most influential blockchain news media.
