Nvidia board probes Jensen Huang's ties amid foreign intelligence concerns

President Donald Trump's relationship with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces scrutiny after the company's board launched an investigation into whether Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence effort, as Nvidia shares hit a seven-month low. The probe follows a New York Times report alleging Huang had a close relationship with a Chinese businesswoman whom US intelligence believes passed information to the Chinese government. Huang, a prominent Trump ally, flew with the president to China in May and attended a state dinner for Xi Jinping in September. Trump said Sunday he had not discussed the allegations with Huang, calling him an "honorable guy." The relationship has coincided with policy shifts favoring Nvidia, including allowing exports of its H200 chips to China and a $25 million company commitment to Trump's White House ballroom.
