FBI probing Nvidia CEO Huang over spy claims - Trump
US President Donald Trump said the FBI was looking into Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's affair with a Chinese businesswoman alleged to be a spy for Beijing.
US President Donald Trump revealed that the FBI is investigating Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang over allegations he had a relationship with a Chinese businesswoman suspected of being a spy for Beijing. Trump expressed surprise at the claims, stating that Huang, a close ally in Silicon Valley, told him he was unaware of the woman's espionage allegations.
The FBI's probe follows Nvidia's internal investigation sparked by the company board's decision to scrutinize Huang's potential ties to foreign intelligence efforts. The controversy has impacted Nvidia's stock, which dropped more than 4% after the board initiated the probe. Huang, who remains Nvidia's largest shareholder with a 3.6% stake, has been instrumental in the company's leadership and strategic direction, particularly as the AI boom continues to shape the industry.
Despite the ongoing investigation, analysts believe Huang will likely retain his position at Nvidia, a company they consider pivotal in the AI landscape.
