Chip-Riese: Trump: FBI ermittelt bei Affäre des Nvidia-Chefs Huang
Nvidia-Chef Huang hatte eine Affäre mit einer Frau, die eine chinesische Spionin gewesen sein könnte. US-Präsident Trump zeigt sich unbeeindruckt – trotz angeblicher FBI-Ermittlungen.
Washington. US President Donald Trump announced on a press conference at the White House that the FBI is investigating the case of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's alleged affair with a possible Chinese spy. The U.S. Federal Police is also probing the case, Trump stated. He did not clarify if the investigation targets Huang directly. Earlier reports suggested Nvidia's CEO was a victim of foreign espionage activities.
The investigation will be conducted by members of the board and external investigators, it was reported. In recent days, media outlets reported that Huang had a relationship with a woman who was allegedly recruited by China's intelligence service. Huang confirmed in an email to Nvidia employees that he had an affair. Huang denied knowing about the activities of the alleged spy, Trump reiterated.
Trump also spoke to Huang about the matter. "He said he had no idea she was a spy, and I believe him," Trump said. When asked if he would raise the issue during his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump responded, "No, I don't think so." Both leaders are expected to meet for the third time this year at the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen, southern China.
