'He's a great, brilliant person': Trump backs Nvidia CEO after report says he was target of Chinese spy plot
Trump's backing comes after a New York Times report on Tuesday said Huang might have been the target of a suspected Chinese intelligence operation.
US President Donald Trump has expressed concerns over allegations that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was targeted in a Chinese espionage operation, according to reports. The president stated that Washington is closely examining the matter, but has shown support for the technology executive. Trump expressed hope for Huang, calling him a brilliant person and emphasizing the importance of protecting talented individuals.
The president also indicated a willingness to retain Huang as an adviser, provided there is no evidence to the contrary. Huang has previously advised Trump on AI policy and participated in a visit to Beijing with the US leader, where they met with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Huang has also advocated for the use of Nvidia's chips in China, as Beijing continues to bolster its domestic semiconductor industry.
