Trump Defends Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in Espionage Probe
President Donald Trump has publicly defended Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang amid an espionage investigation, calling him an "honourable guy" despite intelligence warnings about his alleged links to a suspected Chinese spy. Trump's relationship with Huang shifted dramatically from dismissing Nvidia as unknown last year to awarding him the National Medal of Science. US intelligence reportedly warned Trump about Huang's suspected connection to Alice Huang, an alleged Chinese spy, but Trump declined to act, citing Nvidia's economic importance and trade concerns. Huang has joined Trump on international trips, including to China, and received the president's backing on chip-export decisions. Nvidia is conducting an internal investigation while Huang remains CEO, with the FBI also examining the matter.
