Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang urges U.S. to keep attracting top global tech talent

During a recent podcast, Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang, who immigrated from Taiwan, called for the United States to continue drawing the globe’s brightest minds, stressing the unique surge of intellectual property such immigration brings. While insisting that entrants must come through legal channels, he said the nation should strike a sensible balance. His comments run counter to the Trump administration’s recent crackdown on H-1B visas, including a $100,000 fee for new applications and a ban on certain companies from a visa-to-green-card program.

A White House spokeswoman countered that there is no shortage of American talent and highlighted the administration’s job-creation agenda. Huang also criticized AI CEOs who call for stricter regulation, aligning with President Trump’s reluctance to add new rules. Nvidia declined to comment on the interview.
