Huang emerges as  U.S. president’s top tech ally, surpassing Elon Musk and Tim Cook, as his company’s dominance in AI chips and strategic global deals elevate his political influence

Washington buzz crowns Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, 62, as U.S. President Donald Trump’s new tech favorite, eclipsing Elon Musk and Tim Cook, thanks to Nvidia’s leadership in AI chip development. The Economist last week dubbed Huang “America Inc’s new China envoy” for his growing influence.

During Trump’s first term, Apple’s Tim Cook maintained close ties with the president, enabling Apple to produce and sell in China without special tariffs during the U.S.-China trade war. This strategy tripled Apple’s profits in China, cementing Cook’s reputation as a key business envoy.
