Key Strategic Adjustments
The Nvidia Pivot
Jensen Huang’s 11th-hour inclusion — confirmed during the Alaska refueling stop — signals the administration is leveraging high-end GPU access as a primary bargaining chip for broader trade concessions.
The Micron Reciprocity
Moving beyond the 2023 ban, the negotiation now centers on a “Tech-for-Market” swap: U.S. pressure on CXMT / YMTC is eased in exchange for Micron’s “Trusted Supplier” status and guaranteed market share.
The $1 Trillion Framework
Not assigned to a single CEO, this overarching proposal covers Chinese investment in U.S.-based manufacturing (EVs & Green Tech) and serves as the summit’s grand prize — contingent on CFIUS approval.
