Trump suggests Tim Cook as Nvidia CEO after Jensen Huang resigns
President Donald Trump proposed that Apple's executive chairman Tim Cook replace Jensen Huang as Nvidia's CEO, following Huang's resignation amid an investigation into an extramarital relationship with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy. Trump made the suggestion in a Truth Social post, calling Cook "a Legend" and praising Huang's work. Huang resigned after acknowledging the affair, which was reported by the New York Times, and Nvidia's CFO Colette Kress is serving as interim CEO while the board searches for a permanent successor. Trump, who has defended Huang as "an honorable guy," has close ties to both executives, having hosted them at a White House State Dinner and included them in his entourage during a visit to China. Cook stepped down as Apple's CEO in September to become executive chairman.
