Trump urged Nvidia CEO Huang to fight for his job before resignation

thehill.com —

President Trump urged outgoing Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to fight for his job before Huang's resignation, The New York Times reported Thursday, citing two people briefed on the call. Huang stepped down from leading one of the world's most valuable companies following reports of multiple extramarital affairs, including one with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy. Trump told commentator Stephen A. Smith he spoke with Huang, calling the situation "sad" and noting Huang's distress over his family. Nvidia's stock has fallen over 13 percent in five days amid the scandal. Trump previously allowed Nvidia to sell H200 chips to China, and lawmakers from both parties are now seeking investigations into Huang's ties and potential national security risks.
