Trump says Nvidia CEO's spy status unclear, calls his ordeal 'hell'

cnn.gr (Greek) —

President Donald Trump said it remains unclear whether the woman at the center of the scandal involving former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was a spy, adding that Huang is "going through hell." Trump stated the espionage question should have been decisive in Huang's resignation decision, saying he spoke with Huang and considers him a worthy person. The president's comments mark a shift from Monday, when he called Alice Huang a spy. Chinese authorities have dismissed the espionage allegations as baseless speculation. Trump also proposed former Apple CEO Tim Cook as a potential successor and has had multiple phone calls with Huang this week, encouraging him to resist pressure to step down.
