Trump backs Nvidia CEO as board probes alleged China spy tie
What's new: Nvidia shares fell to a seven-month low, and House Republicans want Jensen Huang in a closed-door briefing later this month.
President Donald Trump publicly backed Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang after reports linked him to Alice Huang, a Megaspeed executive that US intelligence believes worked for China’s Ministry of State Security. Trump said Jensen Huang told him he did not know she was a spy, while adding that the FBI was looking into the matter. Separately, Nvidia’s board opened a probe after reports that US officials viewed Alice Huang as part of an effort to gather intelligence on the chipmaker and influence access to advanced AI chips for China. Republican leaders on three House committees have also sought a private briefing with Huang.
