Trump-Nvidia CEO Ties Coincide with Favorable Decisions

g1.globo.com (Portuguese) —

Donald Trump and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang have developed a close relationship since the start of Trump's current term, with Huang becoming a frequent White House presence amid a scandal over his relationship with a woman U.S. authorities identified as a Chinese intelligence agent. The New York Times reported Huang had a relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based data center company Megaspeed, which purchased over $4.8 billion in Nvidia chips in two years and was investigated for allegedly helping China access banned advanced AI chips. The relationship coincided with White House decisions favorable to Nvidia, including easing export restrictions. Trump was reportedly informed of the suspicions about Huang about a year ago but took no action, with officials fearing repercussions for Nvidia and U.S.-China relations. Trump said Monday the FBI is investigating, calling Huang "a good person" who "probably has an explanation."
