Nvidia CEO faces resignation calls and new China export restrictions

Lawmakers are calling for Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to resign following revelations of his affair with an alleged Chinese spy, with congressional committees threatening to subpoena him over national security concerns. Huang admitted Sunday to the relationship with a woman U.S. intelligence reportedly concluded was a Chinese spy, prompting fears that U.S. AI dominance could be compromised. Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer and Democratic Rep. Suhas Subramanyam both said Huang should step down, while House committee chairs are awaiting his response to a Nov. 18 testimony request and considering subpoena power. Huang, who opposed strict export controls on AI chips to China, has faced scrutiny over his ties to the Trump administration, including a May trip to China on Air Force One. Congress is also pushing legislation to tighten chip export rules, with Democrats expected to launch investigations when they take control of Congress in January.
