WASHINGTON, July 10 (Reuters) - Nvidia ( NVDA ) CEO

Jensen Huang will meet U.S. President Donald Trump at the White

House on Thursday, a day before the chip designer's head plans

to visit China, according to a source familiar with the matter.

The meeting with Trump comes as Nvidia's ( NVDA ) market value closed

above $4 trillion for the first time on Thursday, cementing its

status as one of Wall Street's most sought-after stocks.

Details of the discussions between the two were not

immediately available. The meeting was first reported earlier by

Bloomberg.

Nvidia ( NVDA ) and the White House did not immediately respond to

Reuters requests for comment.

Huang has criticized the export restrictions the Trump

administration imposed in April that stopped Nvidia ( NVDA ) from selling

its H20 chip made for the China market, which he called "a

springboard to global success".

The export curbs cost the artificial intelligence chipmaker

$2.5 billion in sales during the first quarter and Nvidia ( NVDA )

expects a sales hit of $8 billion in the second quarter.

Nvidia ( NVDA ) would no longer include the China market in its

revenue and profit forecasts after the stringent U.S. trade

restrictions on chip sales to the region, Huang told CNN in

June.
