Huang is accompanying Trump on his state visit to the U.K. this week.

On Tuesday, Nvidia announced £11 billion ($15 billion) of investment into U.K. AI infrastructure. And it was not alone — a slew of other U.S. tech giants, including Microsoft, Google and Salesforce, have also announced multibillion-dollar AI investments in the country.

Regardless of the current geopolitical situation, Huang stressed the importance of China’s AI sector.

“The Chinese market is important. It’s large. The technology industry is vibrant. We’ve been in service of it for 30 years,” the Nvidia boss said.

He added Nvidia would “continue to be supportive of the Chinese government and Chinese companies as they wish, and we’re of course going to continue to support the U.S. government as they all sort through these geopolitical policies.”
