Trump says he spoke to Jensen Huang on Wednesday: ‘He’s going through hell’
President Donald Trump said he spoke to Jensen Huang the day before he resigned as Nvidia CEO and that he spoke about his family.
President Donald Trump spoke to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on Wednesday, a day before Huang announced his resignation. During the conversation, Huang reportedly discussed the impact of an affair scandal on his family, with Trump stating that the former CEO felt "most badly about his wife and family." Trump told journalist Stephen A. Smith at the White House that Huang was "going through hell," adding that he had discussed the matter with Huang on Monday as well.
Huang resigned on Thursday following a New York Times report revealing he had engaged in multiple affairs, including one with an Nvidia executive. Following the scandal, the Nvidia board launched an investigation into whether Huang was a target of a foreign intelligence operation. Trump praised Huang's work at Nvidia, stating that the decision to step down depended on whether the woman involved in the affair was a Chinese spy.
Colette Kress, Nvidia's CFO, became interim CEO while the board searched for a permanent replacement.
