Trump defends Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang over affair with alleged spy

pcgamer.com —

President Donald Trump defended Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang after Huang admitted to an affair with Alice Huang, a woman U.S. authorities suspect of being a Chinese spy, calling him an "honourable guy" and suggesting he "probably has an excuse." Trump said he asked Huang if he knew she was a spy, and Huang reportedly said he had no idea. Trump expressed sympathy, noted the FBI is investigating, and predicted Huang would "be in good shape," while also praising Nvidia's advanced Blackwell chip technology. The controversy follows a rough week for Nvidia, with hundreds of billions in market value lost and law firms urging investors to claim misleading statements. Nvidia previously denied the romantic connection and vouched for Megaspeed, a Singaporean firm linked to Alice Huang, which denies chip smuggling allegations.
