U.S. President Donald Trump expressed sympathy for Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on Monday, stating that Huang was suffering greatly and did not realize the woman he was having an affair with was an alleged Chinese spy. Trump also avoided addressing when he himself became aware of intelligence linking Huang to Alice Huang, a Chinese executive accused of passing information to Beijing.
The U.S. leader mentioned he had spoken to Huang earlier that day to inquire if he was feeling alright, calling Huang "an amazing guy." Trump told reporters at the White House that he believed Huang and hoped there were no problems, expressing concern for Huang's family, wife and children, who he loved. Huang had previously sent a message to Nvidia employees on Sunday, acknowledging an affair and apologizing to his family and company staff.
