Trump backs Jensen Huang as Nvidia board opens spy-linked probe
What's new: Nvidia's board is investigating whether the CEO was targeted by a Chinese intelligence operation.
President Donald Trump backed Jensen Huang remaining as Nvidia's chief executive after reports tied the chipmaker's CEO to a suspected Chinese spy. Speaking to reporters on Nov. 8, Trump said he had not discussed the allegations with Huang and added that he had not heard Huang had done anything wrong. Nvidia said its board would investigate whether Huang had been targeted by a foreign intelligence agency. The New York Times reported that US intelligence officials had warned the Trump administration that a woman close to Huang was working for a Chinese spy agency and had been recruited to gather information on him.
