What happened

BEIJING — Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is joining U.S.

Why it matters

President Donald Trump's trip to China this week, the chipmaker confirmed to CNBC, after initial indications the executive had not been invited.

Common ground

"Jensen is attending the summit at the invitation of President Trump to support America and the administration's goals," a spokesperson for the chip giant said in a statement.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
