Trump believes Nvidia CEO was unaware of alleged Chinese spy link as FBI investigates

firstpost.com —

President Donald Trump said he believes Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was unaware that a Chinese businesswoman he was allegedly involved with was a spy, as the FBI investigates the matter. The controversy has triggered an internal Nvidia probe, a shareholder lawsuit, and a 4.3% stock drop. The allegations center on Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive, whom US intelligence suspects passed information to China. Nvidia's board launched an investigation Sunday, and a class-action lawsuit filed Monday accuses the company of misleading investors. Trump, who spoke with Huang, said he expects the CEO to emerge without serious consequences. The controversy comes amid Nvidia's central role in US-China AI competition, with Huang holding 3.6% of company stock. China has dismissed the claims as baseless, and key details about the alleged relationship and intelligence operation remain unconfirmed.
