FBI investigates Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang over China ties, Trump says

President Donald Trump said Monday that the FBI is investigating Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang over his business dealings with a Chinese woman allegedly linked to Beijing's intelligence services, though Trump expressed belief in Huang's denial of knowing her status. Huang acknowledged the relationship in a memo and pledged cooperation with any investigations, while Nvidia's board launched an internal review that found no evidence of compromised national security or confidential information. Nvidia shares fell over 4% on Monday, and senior Republican lawmakers have requested Huang brief Congress on the allegations. The controversy highlights governance concerns at Nvidia, where Huang has led since co-founding the company in 1993, though analysts consider his resignation unlikely. The situation also underscores ongoing tensions over Nvidia's advanced AI chip sales to China, which the U.S. has largely restricted.
