FBI investigates Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang over suspected spy ties

President Donald Trump said Monday that the FBI is investigating Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang over his relationship with a woman suspected of spying for China, adding that Huang claims he had no idea she could be a spy. Huang has admitted to an affair with Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, and apologized to his wife and company in an open letter. The FBI probe follows intelligence reports, cited by the New York Times, alleging the woman gathered information for Beijing, though Chinese authorities have dismissed the claims as baseless. Nvidia's board has announced an independent review, and the company's stock fell over four percent on Monday. The chipmaker is central to the US-China technology rivalry due to export restrictions on its advanced AI chips.
