Trump Urged Nvidia CEO to Fight for His Job Before Resignation
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned Thursday, a day after President Donald Trump urged him to fight for his job during a phone call. Huang stepped down following reports of an affair with suspected Chinese spy Alice Huang and another employee. Trump was reportedly informed about Huang's relationship with Alice Huang at least twice in seven months, including once in May aboard Air Force One en route to China. This contradicts Trump's public claims that he did not know about the relationship before a summit with Xi Jinping. Trump has defended Huang, calling him "a very honorable man" and expressing sympathy for his suffering. He said Huang told him he had no idea Alice Huang was a spy, and Trump stated he believes him.
