ilsole24ore.com (Italian) —

Jensen Huang has resigned as Nvidia CEO amid a scandal involving his relationship with Alice Huang, whose alleged ties to Chinese intelligence remain unconfirmed by US officials. US intelligence has not proven Alice Huang acted as a spy for Beijing, and officials disagree on evidence of recruitment by China's Ministry of State Security. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick will testify before Congress on the matter. Lutnick faces scrutiny for his soft stance on advanced chip sales to China, despite Trump administration policy. Senator Tim Scott sent letters to Lutnick and Huang, raising questions about Huang's influence in delaying restrictions on sales to companies like Megaspeed.
