SAN FRANCISCO, May 18 (Reuters) – Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang ​said on Monday ‌that he believes China’s market will open up to U.S. chip suppliers ‌after ​accompanying U.S. ⁠President Donald Trump on ⁠a trip to China last week.

Nvidia has received licenses from the ​U.S. government to sell its H200 ⁠chips but ⁠has not received ​approval from Chinese officials ​who are fostering China’s own ‌chip suppliers. Trump’s talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping produced ⁠no immediate breakthrough for Nvidia to sell H200 chips.

“My ⁠sense ‌is that over ⁠time, the market ​will ‌open,” Huang said ​in an ⁠interview with Bloomberg Television at an event hosted by Dell.
