Trump says FBI is looking at Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s affair with Chinese agent
Trump said the FBI is reviewing whether the affair exposed sensitive information as Nvidia opened its own independent probe, while China denied the spy allegations.
- 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.
