Nvidia shares fall amid spying allegations
Though US President Donald Trump lent the Nvidia boss his backing, the widening scandal intensified worries over Nvidia’s leadership.
CHICAGO: US President Donald Trump praised Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang as an "honorable person" and a contributor to the United States on Sunday, despite allegations involving a Chinese businesswoman, according to reports. Trump stated that he had not discussed these allegations with Huang, adding, "I have not spoken to him about it.
I just know he’s a fine person." Huang has been lauded by Trump for his "amazing job for our country," the president remarked. Meanwhile, Nvidia revealed it was investigating whether Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation following a media report alleging a close relationship with a Chinese businesswoman who had allegedly passed information to Beijing.
Trump suggested Huang might accompany him on an upcoming Asia trip, saying, "I don’t know, but I’d certainly take him."
