Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang met Tuesday with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick as the Trump administration investigates potential violations involving Nvidia chip exports to China, according to a source familiar. Why it matters: Huang is in Washington as the Trump administration finalizes a framework that would give the government early access to the most advanced AI models before their release. Officials are also weighing their approach to open-source AI and China. Driving the news: Huang is holding meetings across Washington this week, including with Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, and other members of Congress from both sides of the aisle.
