Trump faces political crisis over Nvidia affair after ignoring spy warnings
US President Donald Trump faces a political crisis over the Nvidia affair, with the New York Times reporting he was informed in May of risks involving CEO Jensen Huang and a Chinese businesswoman suspected of espionage, yet took no action. Trump is directly accused of inaction after Secretary of State Marco Rubio allegedly briefed him personally in early May, as the US delegation flew to Beijing. Trump reportedly invited Huang to join Air Force One during an Anchorage stopover, but denied on November 9 having been informed at the time. Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO amid accusations of an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a possible Chinese spy. The scandal intertwines personal conduct with geopolitical tensions, given Nvidia's central role in the AI revolution through its advanced chips.
