Overview
- Reports say Nvidia’s Jensen Huang will travel with the president to Britain next week, with a state banquet at Windsor Castle hosted by King Charles III on the schedule.
- OpenAI’s Sam Altman, BlackRock’s Larry Fink and Blackstone’s Stephen Schwarzman are also expected to attend, while Apple’s Tim Cook was invited and JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon is not expected to go.
- The gathering is seen as a possible venue for corporate deal news tied to AI, nuclear energy and broader technology ties, though companies largely declined to comment on travel plans.
- Huang’s participation comes as Nvidia navigates U.S. export controls on China, with reported waivers for its H20 chip and a U.S. revenue share discussed by the president that Nvidia says is not finalized.
- UK police plan a major security operation using 55 drones and 74 pilots, with a 1.5‑nautical mile airspace exclusion zone around Windsor Castle during the visit.
