Nvidia board weighs CEO Jensen Huang's ouster over affair, risking US-China summit fallout

Nvidia's board is preparing to remove CEO Jensen Huang following revelations of a second extramarital affair with a subordinate, potentially impacting next week's anticipated US-China summit. Huang has publicly apologized for infidelity after reports linked him to a Singaporean executive suspected of Chinese espionage. The New York Times reported Huang's affair with a vice president who reported directly to him, following earlier allegations involving a woman now reportedly returned to China amid an FBI investigation. Reuters confirmed the board met to discuss his dismissal, with Taiwan, his birthplace, expressing shock over the scandal. Huang, known for close ties with President Trump, faces scrutiny as Axios reported Trump approved crackdowns on companies suspected of circumventing AI chip export bans to China. Congressional pressure for stricter semiconductor export controls grows, making his potential ouster likely to complicate US-China diplomatic and economic strategy.
