Trump-Huang Ties Under Scrutiny After Spy Allegations
President Donald Trump's close ties with former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang have drawn renewed scrutiny after revelations about Huang's relationship with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy. Huang resigned on November 12 and faces an FBI investigation and congressional hearings. Trump said he was "stunned" by the revelations and spoke with Huang on November 9, saying he believed Huang's claim that he didn't know the woman was a spy. The two had numerous public interactions since January 2025, including meetings at the White House, a state visit to Britain, and a trip to China. Huang had supported Trump's AI agenda while Nvidia sought to sell advanced chips in China. Trump awarded Huang the National Medal of Science in October 2026, the same day he disclosed personal Nvidia stock trades.
