Senate Banking Chair seeks testimony from Lutnick and former Nvidia CEO Huang on China export concerns

U.S. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott has requested testimony from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang over national security concerns tied to Nvidia and its China exports. Scott sent letters Thursday seeking voluntary testimony, citing reports of Huang's relationship with a businesswoman suspected of spying for China and criticism of Lutnick's handling of trade blacklists. Scott warned he may subpoena Huang if he declines to appear. White House officials are reportedly discussing whether to remove Lutnick, while House Republicans have also sought a closed-door briefing with Nvidia. The Justice Department has not concluded whether Alice Huang is a spy, and China denies the allegation.
