Trump’s Energy Policy ‘Saved American AI,’ Says Nvidia CEO

In a powerful revelation that’s sending shockwaves through Silicon Valley and Washington alike, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang credited President Donald Trump’s energy policies with saving the American artificial intelligence industry.

Speaking on Joe Rogan’s podcast, Huang the visionary behind Nvidia’s meteoric rise didn’t mince words:

“If not for Trump’s pro-growth energy policy, we would not be able to build factories for AI.”

This isn’t partisan flattery. It’s economic reality.

When Trump came into office, he immediately prioritized American energy independence. On night one of his presidency, he declared a National Energy Emergency, underscoring that “an affordable and reliable domestic supply of energy is a fundamental requirement for the national and economic security of any nation.”

Huang echoed that truth, telling Rogan that energy is now the single greatest bottleneck to AI’s expansion. “Without energy growth, we can have no industrial growth,” he said and he’s right. AI, especially the kind being developed and scaled by companies like Nvidia, requires an enormous amount of energy. According to Goldman Sachs, data center power demand is projected to surge by 160% before 2030, largely due to AI infrastructure.

While the Left obsesses over wind turbines and climate virtue signaling, President Trump took action. His “Unleashing American Energy” executive order removed Biden-era regulations that choked domestic production. It opened up federal lands and waters to oil, gas, coal, nuclear, and mineral development all essential to building and powering the next generation of AI systems and infrastructure.

Meanwhile, the Biden administration’s obsession with control and compliance nearly crippled the industry. Five days before Biden left office, his team rushed out the AI Diffusion Rule, a bureaucratic mess that would have slapped restrictive compliance and export burdens on U.S. AI developers like Nvidia. Huang’s company condemned it as a policy that would “set America back and play into the hands of U.S. adversaries.”

Thankfully, Trump stepped in again and rescinded the rule just in time.

Nvidia’s vice president of government affairs praised the rollback, warning that Biden’s last-minute regulation would have buried American AI under red tape and driven innovation offshore. That’s not just bad policy that’s dangerous.

In one of the more telling moments of the interview, Huang admitted he was surprised by Trump personally, calling the president “an incredibly good listener” and noting that “almost everything I’ve ever said to him he’s remembered.”

That stands in stark contrast to the doddering incompetence of Joe Biden a man whose administration has dragged its feet on domestic energy, suffocated industry with endless regulation, and nearly derailed one of America’s most strategic technologies.

Artificial intelligence isn’t just about data it’s about energy, infrastructure, and leadership. And while the Democrats keep pushing pipe dreams, President Trump delivered results.

Once again, the Trump doctrine of economic nationalism, energy independence, and pro-growth policy is proving to be the only real path forward not just for American workers, but for the future of global technology.
