Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Trump is completely aligned with Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang.
Bessent has separately described a new industrial super-cycle as underway, pointing to real wage gains. Commerce Secretary Kevin Hassett has said that AI companies warning each other of risks does not raise antitrust concerns.
Bessent's confirmation removes uncertainty about potential friction between the White House and Nvidia, the sector's leading player, and reinforces the administration's pro-AI stance. That strengthens the case for sustained capital deployment in AI infrastructure and chips, an area Trump has already positioned as a cornerstone economic priority.
