Nvidia CEO's Resignation Exposes Risks of Tech-White House Ties

nos.nl (Dutch) —

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has resigned amid revelations of an affair with an alleged Chinese spy, prompting US political scrutiny over ties between the tech industry and the Trump administration. Trump was reportedly informed of the affair by security services in October 2025 but took no action, later approving stronger chip sales to China despite warnings from Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The administration receives up to 25 percent of revenue from such exports, with AI projected to account for 4 percent of the US economy by late 2027. Congress has summoned Huang and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to testify, with a Democratic Congress expected to launch further investigations. China denies the espionage allegations, and Trump will meet Xi Jinping in Shenzhen next week amid fears of renewed distrust over AI cooperation.
