Jensen Huang gives pro-America keynote and praises Trump during Nvidia's GTC keynote

During Nvidia's recent GTC event in Washington D.C., CEO Jensen Huang opened his keynote with a strong emphasis on American technological achievements. The presentation kicked off with a video that showcased the history of U.S. innovations, setting a patriotic tone for the discussions that followed. Huang expressed pride in American technology, stressing the importance of keeping the foundation of future technological advancements within the United States. He stated, "We're going through a platform shift. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get back into the game with American innovation." In a significant announcement, Nokia revealed that Nvidia would invest $1 billion in the telecommunications company. This partnership aims to leverage Nvidia's technology for the development of 5G and 6G software, which Huang highlighted as a step towards revitalizing telecommunications in the U.S. He remarked, "Telecommunications is the backbone of the economy, and it's crucial for American technology to lead globally once again." Huang also took a moment to commend former President Donald Trump and Energy Secretary Christopher Wright for their roles in supporting energy policies that benefit the tech industry. He noted, "This industry needs to grow. We need energy to advance, and we need energy to win." In addition to his praise for U.S. leaders, Huang announced a partnership with the Department of Energy to establish seven new AI supercomputers, emphasizing the necessity of American leadership in scientific advancements. Despite previous praise from Trump regarding Nvidia's technology, discussions about finalizing an agreement to sell certain chips in China remain ongoing. Huang highlighted the challenges posed by export controls, which have significantly impacted Nvidia's business in the Chinese market, stating, "We went from 95% market share to 0%. It's hard to imagine that any policymaker would view that as a positive outcome." Following Huang's remarks, Nvidia's stock saw a modest increase of 1.7%, indicating a positive reception to the announcements made during the keynote.
