Trump Defends Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in Affair With Alleged Spy

President Donald Trump defended Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang as an "honorable man" after Huang admitted to an affair with an alleged Chinese spy, saying he believes Huang had no knowledge of her alleged espionage activities. Trump made the remarks during a Monday press conference, stating he spoke with Huang and believes the CEO is "suffering greatly" over the situation involving his family. The affair involved Alice Huang, a Singapore-based executive accused by US officials of being recruited by China's Ministry of State Security. The US government alleges Alice Huang may have sought to influence Jensen Huang on AI chip sales to China, though Beijing denies the claims. Megaspeed, her employer, was under investigation for allegedly diverting Nvidia chips to China, and Nvidia reportedly pressured the Commerce Department to halt that probe.
