Trump Defends NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang in FBI Spy Affair Probe

gigazine.net (Japanese) —

President Trump said on November 9, 2026, that the FBI is investigating NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's affair with an alleged Chinese spy, while defending Huang as a "fine man" who did nothing wrong. Huang admitted to the affair with Alice Huang, a Megaspeed executive identified by US intelligence as a Chinese spy, and NVIDIA's board has launched an independent investigation. Trump stated Huang claimed he had no knowledge she was a spy. NVIDIA's stock fell 4.27% on November 9 amid the investigation, though broader tech declines linked to the midterm elections also contributed. Huang had reportedly hired crisis PR firm Heller in October 2025, around when his relationship with Alice Huang was first reported.
