President Donald Trump publicly endorsed former Apple CEO Tim Cook to become Nvidia's permanent CEO after Jensen Huang resigned, calling the move "a legend replaces a Legend" on Truth Social. Cook led Apple for 15 years before stepping down in September 2026, during which the company became one of the world's most valuable firms. He now serves as Apple's Executive Chairman, focusing on global policymaking and international relationships. Trump separately expressed support for Huang, saying he spoke with him and that Huang is "going through hell" over his resignation. Nvidia's interim CEO is Colette Kress, the company's former CFO who joined in 2013.
