During a recent AI event, Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, spoke about the unique advantage that President Donald Trump presents to the country in the artificial intelligence arena, attributing it largely to his push for ramped-up energy production.

Huang highlighted the crucial link between energy and technological advancement, emphasizing that a strong energy framework is essential for the growth of AI industries. He was quoted as saying, “America’s unique advantage that no country could possibly have is President Trump.”

Huang further elaborated on the necessity of energy for developing significant industries, stating that without a robust energy source, it’s difficult to sustain and measure advancements in areas like artificial intelligence.

The CEO’s supportive remarks come amid Trump’s broader AI action plans aimed at ensuring the U.S. maintains its lead in artificial intelligence while tackling challenges like energy production and regulation. Huang stated:

“On the first day of his administration, he realized the importance of AI and the importance of energy. We can’t create new industries without energy. You can’t reshore manufacturing without energy.”

Huang’s comments are part of an ongoing conversation about the U.S.’s approach to AI and energy, an area where he views strong leadership as crucial.
