Nvidia's $4 Trillion Power Play: How Jensen Huang Just Outmaneuvered Washington and Beijing

Jensen Huang just pulled off a move few CEOs could even attemptlet alone survive. Days after meeting with President Donald Trump in Washington, the Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) chief landed in Beijing to announce the resumption of H20 chip sales to China, reversing what had been a hardline U.S. export ban. At the same time, Huang kicked off a major supply-chain expo, met with top Chinese trade officials, and delivered his remarks partly in Mandarin. Nvidia declined to comment on its behind-the-scenes diplomacy, but the timing speaks volumes: while Washington and Beijing remain at odds, Huang is threading the needleand it could be giving Nvidia a decisive advantage. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NVDA. Unlike Apple's Tim Cook or Tesla's Elon Muskwho've had on-again, off-again relationships with TrumpHuang seems to be playing the long game. He's stayed out of politics publicly, but privately made the case that restricting U.S. chips only accelerates China's self-sufficiency. And he's done it while showing cultural fluency in China and restraint on hot-button issues like Taiwan. At a press briefing, Huang brushed off suggestions he influenced Trump's shift, saying: I don't think I changed his mind. But it's hard to ignore the fact that Nvidia just regained access to a market that could define the next wave of AI demand. Is Huang now a de facto bridge between two increasingly fractured tech ecosystems? Maybe. He's not seeking that role, but he's also the only one who hasn't burned either bridge. Nvidia just became the first $4 trillion chip company, and it didn't get there by picking sidesit got there by selling the shovels in an AI gold rush. And now, with H20 chips back in play, Huang could be setting Nvidia up for a fresh wave of growtheven as the geopolitical storm swirls around him. Investors should keep watching. This isn't just about chips anymore. This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Sign in to access your portfolio

Trump administration unfreezes $1B in after-school funding: Source

The Trump administration has unfrozen over a billion dollars for critical after-school and summer education programming, a senior administration official told ABC News. "The programmatic review is over for 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC)," the senior administration official said. "Funds will be released to the states. Guardrails have been put in place to ensure these funds are not used in violation of Executive Orders," the official said in a statement to ABC News. The official did not provide further details on the 'guardrails' for the program. 21st Century Community Learning Centers -- the chief federal funding stream for after-school and summer-learning programs -- supports more than 10,000 local programs serving more than 1 million children nationwide. Congress appropriated $1.329 billion for the programs this fiscal year.
