Trump expresses sympathy for Nvidia CEO in suspected China spy case

President Trump expressed sympathy for Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on Monday, amid reports that Huang's mistress allegedly spied on him for China. Trump stated he believes Huang "suffered greatly" and trusted his denial of knowledge about the espionage. Trump said Huang told him he had "no idea" the woman in his extramarital affair was a suspected Chinese spy, a claim Beijing denies. The president voiced belief in Huang's statement, emphasizing the CEO's suffering was tied to his family and wife, during a White House press conference. Trump declined to specify when he learned of the case, saying he would check with intelligence officials and that it had "no big impact" on him. The New York Times reported a spring memo identified Alice Huang as a Chinese state security agent.
