Trump says FBI is looking at Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s affair with Chinese agent
China rejected the spying allegations as smears while Nvidia shares fell about 5% in pre-market trading, according to market data.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump stated the FBI is investigating Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang regarding an alleged affair with a Chinese government agent, calling Huang a "very honorable man" at a White House briefing.
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Guo Jiakun denied the allegations on Monday, calling them a "smear campaign against Beijing," while the state-owned Global Times claimed the report aims to disrupt improving China-US relations.
- Nvidia shares dropped roughly 5% in pre-market trading early Monday as Huang previously lobbied Washington to permit sales of advanced H200 and H20 chips to China, winning approval from Trump this year.
- Huang told Trump he "had absolutely no idea" the individual was a spy, while George Chen, a partner at The Asia Group, noted that questions regarding compromise of sensitive information require evidence rather than speculation.
- While regulators have previously restricted chip sales to Beijing, Huang affirmed his commitment to protecting NVIDIA and America's national security as the FBI remains involved in the ongoing investigation.
