President Donald Trump confirmed on July 29 that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby were sitting in the Oval Office for what the administration referred to as an “IAD event.” The Nvidia chief has become a regular at the White House, participating in discussions around semiconductor policy and technology strategy, and joined a China delegation trip in 2026. Huang has publicly praised Trump’s familiarity with Nvidia’s product lineup, remarking in July 2026 on the president’s memory concerning the company’s offerings. Scott Kirby’s presence was noted as less expected, as the United Airlines CEO has been primarily visible in airline industry circles. No references to crypto assets, tokens, or blockchain technology were reported in connection with this event.
