Nvidia Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang is meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday, days before a planned trip to China by the head of the world’s most valuable chipmaker, according to people familiar with the matter.

Nvidia’s CEO has been vocal about the need for US companies to access the world’s largest semiconductor market and is a frequent visitor to China.
