Trump says Huang called him before Nvidia CEO resignation

businessinsider.com —

President Donald Trump said he spoke with Jensen Huang on Wednesday, a day before Huang resigned as Nvidia's CEO, describing him as "going through hell" and concerned about his family's well-being. Huang resigned Thursday following a scandal involving an admitted affair and a board investigation into whether he was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation. Trump said Huang called him and expressed regret over the impact on his wife and family. Trump suggested Huang's resignation was justified if the woman involved was a Chinese spy, as US officials suspected, but said it might differ otherwise. He reiterated support for Tim Cook as a successor, while Nvidia's CFO Colette Kress was named interim CEO.
