WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump and the CEO of Nvidia Jensen Huang discussed DeepSeek - the Chinese company whose AI model's performance rocked the tech world - and tightening AI chip exports during their meeting at the White House on Friday, a source with knowledge of the matter said.
Trump did not provide details of the meeting but called Huang a "gentleman."
"I can't say what's gonna happen. We had a meeting. It was a good meeting," Trump said.
The Friday afternoon meeting came as the government is set to further restrict AI chip exports this spring to ensure advanced computing power remains in the United States and among its allies, while looking for more ways to block China's access.
