Trump calls Nvidia's Huang 'honorable,' says he has not discussed allegations with him
The board says an independent committee will review the allegations as Trump calls Huang an honorable guy and says the Nvidia chief deserves to be heard.
- Nvidia launched an independent investigation into Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang following reports of an affair with a woman suspected of spying for China, overseen by The Board's committee of independent directors.
- Fox News reported that Huang admitted to an extramarital relationship with an executive suspected of spying for China, after which Huang apologized to employees, stating, "There is no excuse for what I did."
- While no evidence suggests national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised, The Board emphasized that national and economic security remains paramount, adding, "Jensen fully supports the review and has committed to cooperating with it."
- President Trump defended Huang on Sunday night, calling him an "honourable guy" who likely has an explanation, and when asked if he expected the CEO to remain at Nvidia, responded affirmatively, saying, "I think so."
- Members of Congress are calling for probes and investors are warning the news could impact the market, though The Board stated it will provide further updates as appropriate.
