Nvidia: Huang Affair Increases Pressure on US Trade Minister Lutnick
The espionage scandal at chip manufacturer Nvidia has reached the US government. Commerce Minister Lutnick is to explain to a committee why he did not more strictly control chip exports.
The US Senate Banking Committee has summoned former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and US Commerce Minister to a hearing over a spy scandal involving the US chip company Nvidia. Committee Chairman Tim Scott threatened Huang with a subpoena if he does not testify voluntarily. The Chairmen of three House committees also requested Huang and Nvidia's general counsel Tim Teter to appear at private hearings on December 1 and 2, or face a subpoena.
US President Donald Trump has weighed in on the debate, reportedly discussing the matter with Huang in a phone call before his resignation.
