Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang receives live call from Donald Trump

NVIDIA chief executive Jensen Huang fielded a live telephone call from former President Donald Trump during a technology conference on Thursday, marking an unusual direct dialogue between the AI industry leader and the former commander‑in‑chief. The call, which was streamed to attendees and later posted online, focused on Trump’s interest in artificial‑intelligence developments and potential collaborations with the chipmaker. While the conversation itself centered on policy and technical questions, viewers also noted the device Huang used to answer the call, sparking separate commentary about the phone’s make and model.

Industry observers said the attention given to the handset underscored the growing visibility of personal technology choices among high‑profile executives, especially when they intersect with major public events. The incident highlights both the expanding role of AI in political discourse and the heightened scrutiny of the tools used by corporate leaders in such engagements. No further statements have been released by NVIDIA or the Trump campaign regarding the content of the discussion.
