Nvidia Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang is expected to miss the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump on Jan. 20, bucking a trend among high-profile US technology leaders.

Huang is visiting East Asia this week, as he typically does around the time of the Lunar New Year, according to a person familiar with the situation. He’s never previously attended a US presidential inauguration, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the plans haven’t been announced.
