NVIDIA will be permitted to resume shipments of its H20 data center GPUs to China, following assurances from the U.S. government that export licenses will be granted. CEO Jensen Huang shared the update during a high-profile global tour this month that included stops in Washington, D.C. and Beijing to promote the role of AI in productivity, job creation, and infrastructure development.
In Washington, Huang met with President Donald Trump and U.S. lawmakers to reaffirm NVIDIA’s support for the administration’s initiatives to expand domestic AI capabilities, onshore semiconductor manufacturing, and ensure U.S. leadership in the sector. In Beijing, Huang engaged with Chinese officials and tech leaders on how AI can drive global productivity gains and inclusive innovation. These efforts come at a critical juncture as global governments weigh the risks and benefits of AI deployments across industry and research.
NVIDIA also unveiled a new product—the RTX PRO GPU—designed to comply fully with current U.S. export regulations. Marketed for digital twin applications in smart factories and logistics, the new chip highlights NVIDIA’s efforts to continue serving industrial and international markets within policy constraints. “We believe that every civil model should run best on the U.S. technology stack, encouraging nations worldwide to choose America,” Huang told reporters in D.C.
