Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang joins ‘The Sunday Briefing’ to discuss the new US-made Blackwell AI chip wafer, how Trump-era tariffs helped boost domestic production and efforts to expand manufacturing in America.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang declared Sunday that the country was at the dawn of a new artificial intelligence-powered “industrial revolution,” praising President Donald Trump’s tariffs and desire to “reindustrialize the United States.”
Nvidia, the world’s leading semiconductor manufacturer and a titan in AI, announced last week that it has partnered with semiconductor giant Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) to launch the first Blackwell waffle in the United States. The wafer is the base material for one of the organization’s historically advanced AI chips.
“Last week was a historic week,” Huang said on “The Sunday briefing.” “For the first time, we have produced the most advanced AI chips in the world right here in America, in the most advanced factory in the world. This all started when President Trump wanted to reindustrialize the United States. His tariffs were critical in making this possible at the speed we are doing now, and now, just after less than a year, we are now producing the most advanced chips for AI here in the United States. This is just the beginning.”

THE NEW ARMS MATCH IS FOR COMPUTE – AND AMERICA CANNOT AFFORD TO BE LEFT BEHIND
Huang said that, working with its partners, approximately $500 billion worth of AI supercomputer technology could be manufactured and installed in the United States within the next three to four years.
“What does it do to make you say that?” he asked.
“Well, Nvidia is at the epicenter, we are the engine of the greatest industrial revolution in human history. The last was steam engines, electricity, information technology, and now we are creating artificial intelligence,” he said. “Digital intelligence that complements all the things we do. It will impact every single sector. There is of course no sector that is not affected by intelligence, and so this will revolutionize every single sector. We are at the beginning of that industrial revolution.”
Soon, he claimed, AI will be “everywhere in the world” and used by every company. Huang added that Trump’s energy policies had given the industry an opportunity to grow.

“One of the most important things President Trump has done for the technology industry here in the United States is to recognize that energy is necessary to grow this industry. President Trump’s pro-energy initiatives have made it possible for us to sustain our growth,” he said.
Huang, one of the richest people in the world, also expanded his recent comments that the next generation of American millionaires will come from traditional blue-collar industries such as plumbing and electrical work.
“We’re going to have to build these beautiful factories,” he said. “Beautiful factories for chips, for packaging, for these AI supercomputers, but also for these factories that produce digital intelligence. All of these factories require extremely skilled craftsmanship. This is something that our country really, really needs to celebrate. The skilled trades professions are seriously under-resourced. We just don’t have nearly enough of them: plumbers, electricians, technicians, network technicians who make these incredible build factories. We need a lot of it. hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions.”
