Nvidia confirms planned supply of GPUs to S. Korea despite Jensen Huang's resignation: science minister

Ex-Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and his company, MegaSpeed, have recently been the subject of national security concerns according to letters sent by US Congressmen. The letters demand that Huang, Nvidia's General Counsel Tim Teter, and Under Secretary of Commerce Jeffrey Kessler provide their testimony on the matter. The letters highlight issues such as potential interference with US export control investigations and chip smuggling.

The Congressmen emphasize the need to know the extent to which national security has been compromised. Huang's meetings with Congress are described as closed-door and transcripts will be taken. If Huang or Teter refuse to comply, they may face a subpoena. This marks a shift in tone from a previous letter that only asked Huang about his relationship with Alice Huang, a suspected Chinese spy.

Huang has also been called to testify before the US Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. The Senate hearing, led by Senator Tim Scott, also invites Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. The Democrats, who will take over Congress in the upcoming year, are also concerned about the risks to national security. They demand a full accounting of Huang, Nvidia, MegaSpeed, and the Trump administration's actions.
