  "account": "A recent report reveals that the Trump administration's official overseeing export control programs was considering an unusual invite for the upcoming annual conference of the Bureau of Industry and Security. The Bureau's Under Secretary of Commerce, Jeffrey Kessler, had expressed interest in inviting Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to deliver a speech at the Jan. 10 event in Washington. Kessler was reportedly confident in his ability to secure Huang's attendance, though the then-Nvidia chief ultimately did not accept the invitation. A BIS spokesperson stated that no speakers have been confirmed for the conference yet, with planning still in progress. Commenting on the story is currently restricted for subscribers under their current plan.",
  "summary": "Congress is demanding answers about whether the Bureau of Industry and Security did enough to keep Nvidia's AI processors out of China's hands.",
