Trump Urges Nvidia CEO to Fight
Tap title to read story
President Trump called Nvidia chief Jensen Huang on Tuesday, urging him to keep fighting for his job amid a rapidly unfolding spy scandal. The call followed Huang’s resignation, announced Thursday, after revelations of an affair with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy and another with an employee. Trump had been warned twice—late last year and in spring—about Huang’s relationship with a Chinese citizen named Alice Huang, whom intelligence agencies said was recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security. Despite the warnings, Trump brought Huang on a trip to China in May and publicly praised him, calling him a legend in a social media post on Thursday.
