Trump calls Nvidia's Huang 'honorable,' says he has not discussed allegations with him

On November 8, US President Donald Trump called Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang an "honorable person" and praised his contributions to the United States during a press conference. However, Trump stated that he had not discussed allegations of a relationship with a Chinese businesswoman who allegedly passed information to Beijing with Huang.

"I have not spoken to him about it," Trump told reporters. "I just know he's a fine person, but you never know what is going on." Trump expressed hope that everything is fine and praised Huang's work for the country. Nvidia confirmed on Sunday that they were investigating whether Huang had been the target of a foreign intelligence effort following a media report alleging a close relationship with the Chinese businesswoman.

Trump suggested that Huang might have an excuse for the allegations, stating, "You have to hear it." When asked about taking Huang on his upcoming trip to Asia, Trump said, "I don't know, but I'd certainly take him."
