By Laurie Chen and Karen Freifeld

BEIJING/NEW YORK, May ‌13 (Reuters) – Nvidia CEO Jensen ‌Huang will join over a dozen ​U.S. CEOs on President Donald Trump’s visit to China this week, two sources familiar ‌with the ⁠matter told Reuters on Wednesday.

Huang did not ⁠appear on an initial list of executives provided by ​the White ​House ​earlier this week. ‌Nvidia’s powerful H200 chips have not yet been sold to China, a U.S. official said last month, citing ‌difficulties getting permission ​from the Chinese ​government.

The White ​House did not ‌respond to a request ​for ​comment.
