Trump backs Tim Cook to replace Jensen Huang at Nvidia; experts weigh in

President Trump endorsed former Apple CEO Tim Cook as a potential successor to Jensen Huang at Nvidia, following Huang's departure amid revelations about his relationships with two women, one reportedly a Chinese spy. Nvidia named CFO Colette Kress interim CEO. Experts say Cook's experience managing global supply chains and navigating geopolitical tensions could reassure investors, though his commitment to leaving Apple's executive chairman role remains uncertain. Internal candidates like Ian Buck and Kress are also under consideration. Cook led Apple through historic growth, including surpassing $3 trillion in market value, and secured tariff exemptions for iPhones during US-China trade disputes. Nvidia faces similar challenges with export restrictions and Chinese market access.
