BEIJING, May 14 (Reuters) – Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told ​state broadcaster ‌CCTV on Thursday that he hoped U.S. President Donald Trump ‌and ​Chinese counterpart ⁠Xi Jinping would ⁠build on their good relationship during talks in Beijing ​to improve two-way ties.

Huang, who ⁠joined Trump’s ⁠state visit ​to China at the ​eleventh hour, is struggling ‌to maintain Nvidia’s presence in the world’s second-largest ⁠economy.

The U.S. chipmaker is currently unable to deliver ⁠its ‌H200 chips ⁠to Chinese ​clients ‌seeking to use ​the hardware ⁠to power developments in artificial intelligence.
