Trump Suggests Tim Cook as Nvidia CEO After Huang Resigns
President Donald Trump has proposed that former Apple CEO Tim Cook replace Jensen Huang as Nvidia's CEO, following Huang's resignation on Thursday amid reports of an affair with a Chinese businesswoman suspected of spying for Beijing. Nvidia has named CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO while searching for a permanent successor. Cook, who stepped down as Apple's CEO in September after 15 years, grew the company's market capitalization from $350 billion to $4 trillion and nearly quadrupled annual revenue to over $416 billion. Huang, who co-founded Nvidia and is its fourth-largest investor, had developed close ties with the Trump administration, supporting its AI agenda and lobbying for looser restrictions on chip sales to China, a stance now under renewed scrutiny from lawmakers.
