Trump-Nvidia CEO ties scrutinized over alleged spy affair
President Donald Trump's ties with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang face renewed scrutiny after revelations of Huang's affair with a Chinese businesswoman alleged to be a spy for Beijing, prompting an FBI probe and a board meeting on his future. Trump said Monday he was "amazed" by the revelations and believes Huang's denial of knowing the woman was a spy. Over two years, Huang supported Trump's AI agenda and met him repeatedly while Nvidia lobbied to loosen restrictions on advanced chip sales to China. Lawmakers have called for halting advanced AI chip exports to China, while Huang and the White House argued continued sales keep Chinese customers reliant on US technology. Trump awarded Huang the National Medal of Science in October and disclosed trading Nvidia stock worth up to $1.6 million.
